Description
Overview:
The Brake Nut Short Male 3/8" x 24 TPI is a compact metal fitting used to join 3/16" brake pipe to components in hydraulic brake systems. It features a 3/8"-24 UNF thread (major diameter approx. 9.5 mm, pitch approx. 1.06 mm) and accepts standard 3/16" (4.75 mm) pipe, making it suitable for many automotive and light commercial applications, as well as plant and trailer braking systems that use 3/16" lines. The short male form helps in tight or confined installations such as near wheel cylinders, master cylinders, and valves. Manufactured to provide a secure, leak-resistant connection when used with a correctly prepared brake pipe and matching seat, it supports safe, reliable braking performance. Manufacturer Part Number: 305 141.
Key Features:
- 3/8"-24 UNF thread for common brake components (approx. 9.5 mm major diameter, 1.06 mm pitch)
- Suits 3/16" (4.75 mm) brake pipe for wide compatibility across many vehicles and systems
- Short male configuration for space-limited installations and neat routing
- Precision-machined threads help achieve a tight, consistent seal when correctly fitted
- Durable metal construction designed for repetitive service conditions
- Aids in creating a secure connection at wheel cylinders, master cylinders, valves, and unions
- Compact size reduces the risk of interference with adjacent parts
- Straightforward to install using standard brake pipe tools and correct flare preparation
Typical Applications:
Used to terminate or connect 3/16" (4.75 mm) brake pipe to components threaded 3/8"-24 UNF, including wheel cylinders, master cylinders, proportioning/bias valves, T-pieces, and fixed hose adapters on cars, vans, trailers, and light plant where 3/16" lines are specified.
Also known as:
Brake line nut, flare nut, tube nut, brake pipe nut, union nut, male brake fitting, 3/8-24 UNF brake connector, brake pipe threaded connector.
