1/4in Vac Fitting Push To Connect 1/4in NPT

The 1/4in Vac Fitting Push To Connect 1/4in NPT from REDHORSE PERFORMANCE is a precision air line adapter designed for pneumatic and vacuum systems that demand reliable, leak-free connections. This quick-disconnect fitting serves technicians, industrial maintenance teams, and performance enthusiasts who need fast, tool-free coupling and uncoupling of air and vacuum lines without disrupting system operation. Whether you're managing air tool networks, diagnostic equipment, or custom pneumatic builds, this push-to-connect fitting eliminates fumbling with threaded connections and reduces downtime in high-turnover shop environments.

Constructed from steel with a nickel-plated finish, the 4716 Series fitting delivers corrosion resistance and durability in both clean shop and harsh outdoor conditions. The 1/4 inch NPT male thread mates with standard 1/4 inch female quick-disconnect couplers, creating a sealed interface that handles vacuum draw and moderate positive pressure without slip or separation. The push-to-connect design uses a spring-loaded collet mechanism that grips tubing securely upon insertion and releases instantly when the sleeve is retracted, eliminating the need for wrenches or adapters. Nickel plating protects against rust and oxidation, extending service life in humid or salt-air environments while maintaining a professional appearance across multiple connect-disconnect cycles.

This fitting is ideal for shops operating air brake diagnostic kits, pneumatic impact tools, and vacuum-assisted systems that require quick reconfiguration between jobs. Installation is straightforward: thread the NPT male end into your system manifold or component, then push 1/4 inch OD tubing into the quick-disconnect socket until it seats fully. The compact 2.84 x 1.1 x 4.42 inch profile fits tight spaces on tool carts and equipment racks without requiring additional brackets or supports. Compatible with standard 1/4 inch pneumatic tubing and vacuum hose rated for your working pressure, this adapter is a essential component for anyone standardizing on quick-disconnect pneumatic infrastructure.
