Coupling Fitting
Bendix

This coupling fitting provides a compact, dual‑end connector with 3/8‑inch end fittings on both sides, enabling a straightforward linkage of tubing or hose segments in compact hydraulic or pneumatic circuits. The symmetrical 3/8‑inch thread interfaces support efficient extension or rerouting in tight spaces where standard adapters would be impractical. NPTF threads offer a tight, leak‑resistant seal when paired with compatible gaskets or sealing compounds, reducing the potential for fluid loss in brake, steering, and auxiliary lines. The component is crafted from robust steel and finished to resist corrosion, enabling reliable service across temperature swings, road salts, and vibrations typical of heavy‑duty operations. VMRS 013-010-002 places it in the system’s tubing and line adapters, while category 41391 situates it among practical fittings used to implement quick, durable connections. Typical uses include replacing worn sections of piping, extending lines to accommodate new equipment, or fabricating short, adaptable runs within a chassis harness. Proper alignment and sealant selection help ensure a long service life and minimal maintenance needs.
