Meet the Forney Brass Bushing 1/8 in. Female x 1/4 in. Male—a compact, dependable adapter crafted for everyday pneumatic setups. Designed to bridge ports of different sizes with a sturdy brass body, it’s built to endure the rigors of a busy shop or garage.
-
Durable brass construction offers reliable corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance in air systems.
-
End 1: 1/8 in. Female NPT to End 2: 1/4 in. Male NPT provides a precise, secure connection between components with mismatched ports.
-
Both ends use NPT threading for consistent, leak‑resistant fit when paired with appropriate sealant or thread tape.
-
Compact, space-conscious design minimizes bulk in tight workstations while maintaining adequate flow for typical pneumatic tasks.
Why this adapter stands out: it’s not just a connector—it’s a reliability upgrade for your air line. The brass bushing resists everyday shop solvents and air contaminants, reducing the risk of thread wear and leaks over time. Whether you’re expanding a compressor setup, feeding a spray tool, or routing air to a valve, this 1/8" to 1/4" adapter keeps the signal clean and the connection secure.
Use cases and ideal scenarios
- Converting a smaller port on a regulator or filter to fit a hose or tool with a 1/4" NPT male connection.
- Initial setup in a home garage or professional workshop where components with different thread sizes must be joined quickly and reliably.
- Field repairs or temporary rigs where a compact, sturdy adapter helps maintain workflow without bulky fittings.
Installation tips
- Prepare threads with appropriate sealant or PTFE tape rated for air systems; wrap 2–3 gentle turns for a good seal without excess buildup.
- Hand-tighten, then snug with a wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten, as brass can gall under excessive torque.
- After assembly, test for leaks using soapy water or a dedicated leak detector—tighten slightly if bubbles appear.
