Description
Overview:
The PCL Reducing Union R 1/2" Male to R 3/8" Male (HC6901) is a compact, metal male-to-male adaptor for joining different size air lines and ports in pneumatic systems. It uses R (BSPT taper) male threads on both ends to give a secure, leak‐resistant joint when fitted with PTFE tape or thread sealant. Designed for air tools and equipment used on construction sites, workshops, and garden machinery, it helps you step down from a larger supply to a smaller tool or hose without compromising airflow. Thread sizes are R 1/2" (12.7 mm) male to R 3/8" (9.5 mm) male. Built for everyday use, this PCL fitting supports reliable maintenance and upgrades on compressors, manifolds, and air tool setups.
Key Features:
- R 1/2" (12.7 mm) male to R 3/8" (9.5 mm) male R (BSPT) tapered threads for a tight, dependable fit
- Durable metal construction with a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life
- Maintains efficient airflow when reducing between line sizes
- Simple to install and remove with standard spanners; ideal for quick adaptations on site
- Secure sealing when used with PTFE tape or suitable thread sealant
- Compact form factor for use in confined spaces and on busy manifolds
- Suited to UK BSP pneumatic systems across workshop, plant and service van setups
- OEM reference: HC6901 for easy identification and reordering
- Reliable choice for routine maintenance and repairs on air tools and hoses
- Supports consistent system performance under regular daily use
Typical Applications:
Reducing from a 1/2" BSPT outlet to a 3/8" BSPT tool or hose on compressors, regulators, and manifolds; adapting airline drops in workshops; connecting impact wrenches, nailers, blow guns, and inflators; integrating air feeds on construction and garden machinery where mixed thread sizes are present; quick repairs and upgrades in service vans and onsite pneumatic systems.
