FAQs

Do I need to use Teflon tape with these adapters?

No, the SuperThread feature includes a special polyurethane seal that makes the joint airtight without the need for additional sealant like Teflon tape.

What types of threads are compatible with this adapter?

The SuperThread adapter is compatible with BSP (parallel), BSPT (taper), NPTF, PF, and PT metal thread forms.

What is the maximum tubing size this adapter accepts?

This specific adapter is designed for 12mm Outer Diameter (OD) nylon pneumatic tubing.

Can these adapters be used for water lines?

These adapters are specifically designed for pneumatic (air) systems. While brass is generally water-resistant, the polyurethane seal is optimized for air and may not be suitable for all water applications, especially those involving high pressure or specific water chemistries.

How do I disconnect the tubing?

Typically, you would need to push in the outer collar of the fitting while pulling the tubing out. Consult specific documentation for the exact disconnection mechanism if it differs.

What is the material of the adapter?

The adapter is made of brass, and it features a polyurethane seal.

Troubleshooting

Connection leaks air

Ensure the 12mm tubing is fully inserted and seated. Check that the tubing is not damaged or deformed. Verify the thread on the other end is compatible and properly tightened. Ensure the polyurethane seal is clean and free from debris.

Tubing won't insert or seal properly

Confirm you are using 12mm OD tubing. Ensure the end of the tubing is cut cleanly and squarely. Check for any obstructions or damage inside the adapter's inlet.

Thread connection is difficult

Verify the thread type (BSP, NPTF, etc.) of the fitting matches the adapter. Ensure the receiving port threads are clean and undamaged. Hand-tighten first to avoid cross-threading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates need for thread sealant.
  • Broad compatibility with multiple thread types.
  • Fast and secure connection for nylon tubing.
  • Durable brass material for longevity.
  • Convenient 2-pack offering.

Cons

  • Limited to 12mm OD tubing size.
  • Primarily for pneumatic applications; not for high-pressure hydraulics.
  • Brass may not be suitable for all chemical environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 12mm nylon tubing is clean and cut squarely for a proper seal.
  2. Push the tubing firmly into the designated inlet of the adapter until it is fully seated.
  3. Screw the 3/8" threaded end into the receiving port, hand-tightening initially. For critical applications, a slight further tightening with a wrench may be necessary, but avoid over-tightening to protect the threads and seal.

Compatibility:

  • Tubing: Compatible with 12mm Outer Diameter (OD) nylon pneumatic tubing.
  • Threads: Works with BSP (parallel), BSPT (taper), NPTF, PF, and PT metal thread forms. Always confirm the thread type on your existing fittings.
  • Application: Designed for pneumatic systems (air lines). Not recommended for high-pressure hydraulic or fluid applications where specific hydraulic fittings are required.

Care:

  • Keep the adapters clean and free from debris, especially around the connection points.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage or damage.
  • If disassembly is required, gently pull the tubing out while simultaneously actuating the release collar (if applicable to the specific connection style). Clean the adapter before re-using.
