Description
Overview:
The PCL Reducing Union R 3/8" Male to R 1/4" Male (HC6899) is a compact pneumatic adaptor for joining different thread sizes in air systems. It uses R (BSPT) male threads to connect an R 3/8 in (9.53 mm) outlet to an R 1/4 in (6.35 mm) inlet, helping you adapt tools, hoses, and manifolds without replacing existing parts. Built with a durable metal body and a central hex section, it is easy to hold with a spanner for a firm, controlled fit. Designed for everyday workshop and site use, it supports reliable air delivery to tools such as spray guns, impact wrenches, and tyre inflators. OEM reference HC6899 helps with identification and stocking in service environments.
