Fitting 1/4 NPT to 1/4 Airline

The Fitting 1/4 NPT to 1/4 Airline by RIDETECH is a precision brass and plastic adapter designed to bridge pneumatic and fluid transfer systems in suspension tuning, air management, and industrial automation applications. This straight-configuration connector converts a 1/4-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) male port to a 1/4-inch female pushlock airline connection, making it an essential component for technicians who integrate modular air lines into rigid threaded infrastructure. Whether you're building a custom air suspension setup, configuring pressure monitoring lines, or assembling pneumatic control networks, this fitting ensures leak-free, repeatable connections.

Constructed from durable brass with reinforced plastic positioning collar, the fitting features a male NPT thread on one end—providing permanent, sealed installation into tapped ports—and a pushlock female receptacle on the other, enabling quick-disconnect airline attachment without tools. NPT threading creates a tapered mechanical seal that tightens as the connection is torqued, eliminating the need for additional sealant tape on most applications. The 1/4-inch bore diameter accommodates standard airline tubing, offering balanced flow rates suitable for air suspension damping, pneumatic valve control, and low-to-medium pressure systems. Weighing just 0.03 lbs and measuring 2.65 by 1.15 by 3.05 inches, the compact form factor fits tight engine bays and frame-mounted reservoir assemblies without interference.

This adapter is ideal for automotive suspension engineers, air system integrators, and aftermarket builders who require a straightforward conversion between legacy NPT infrastructure and modern pushlock pneumatic ecosystems. It performs reliably in temperature-stable environments (typical suspension bays and sealed reservoirs) and pairs seamlessly with RIDETECH air management kits, aftermarket dampers, and OEM pneumatic solenoid banks. Installation is straightforward: hand-thread the NPT male end into your tapped port until snug, then hand-tighten a quarter turn with an appropriate wrench; air lines push straight onto the female connector end with audible locking confirmation. Compatible with standard polyurethane and reinforced nylon tubing up to 1/4-inch outer diameter.
