Tectran 104 Male Connector with Spring Guard 3/8" Hose x 1/2" MPT

The Tectran 104 is a heavy-duty male connector with integrated spring guard designed for commercial vehicle and industrial air brake applications. This brass connector features a 3/8" hose barb that connects to 3/8" ID air hose and terminates in a 1/2" male pipe thread (MPT) for secure installation into air system components.

Key Features:

• Durable brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Integrated spring guard protects hose from kinking and damage at the connection point
• 3/8" hose barb for 3/8" ID air brake hose
• 1/2" male pipe thread (MPT) for standard air system connections
• Designed for heavy-duty truck, trailer, and commercial vehicle air brake systems
• Meets DOT FMVSS 106 air brake tubing and fitting requirements

This connector is commonly used to connect air brake hoses to air tanks, valves, and other pneumatic components in commercial vehicle air brake systems. The spring guard provides strain relief and extends hose life by preventing flexing damage at the critical connection point.
