Description

Male Thread Reducing Connector, GZ 1/4-Inch to GZ 1/2-Inch

Brief Overview

This is a straightforward male-to-male thread reducing connector, designed to transition pneumatic and hydraulic systems from a 1/2-inch supply line down to a 1/4-inch branch or component. The nickel-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in workshop and industrial environments. For resellers managing pneumatic system assemblies, this connector fills a critical role in your inventory—it's the kind of part that gets ordered in volume once mechanics discover they need it. Stock this alongside other essential GZ male connectors to capture complete system build-outs.

Key Features

  • Reducing Design: Transitions from GZ 1/2-inch male thread to GZ 1/4-inch male thread in a single, compact component
  • Hex Wrench Flats: Integrated hexagonal nut section allows secure tightening without specialized tools
  • Nickel-Plated Finish: Provides durability and corrosion resistance in humid or demanding shop conditions
  • Hollow Bore: Internal passage allows full flow-through without restrictions
  • Precision Machining: Clean thread ridges and consistent dimensional tolerances ensure reliable sealing

Why This Connector Matters for Your Business

Inventory Efficiency: This is a single-solution reducer—no need to stock separate adapters or use multiple fittings. One part does the job.

High Turnover Potential: Pneumatic technicians routinely need to downsize supply lines. This connector addresses a frequent requirement without forcing customers to buy unnecessary bulk fittings.

Margin Protection: Simple, single-piece design means low cost per unit and strong gross margin. Resellers report consistent re-orders as customers build modular systems.

System Compatibility: Works seamlessly in pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic applications where GZ threads are standard.
