APEX 3/8 to 1/4 Hose Extension | Push to Connect

APEX 3/8 to 1/4 inch Hose Extension – Push to Connect

A practical connector for linking the APEX braided hose to the air system.

If you are using an air hose and need to connect it to a 1/4-inch Push to Connect system, this connector is designed for that purpose.

APEX Performance Products offers a custom connector for linking 3/8-inch air hoses with 1/4-inch Push-to-Connect connectors, making it easier to equip your air system with the appropriate connections.

Whether you are setting up a new tire inflation system or modifying the connections of your existing system, this piece helps you connect the mentioned sizes in a way that is compatible with the system design.

What is the function of an APEX connection?

Its primary function is to connect two different ends in an air system:

First end: APEX braided hose, 3/8 inch.

Second end: 1/4 inch Push to Connect connector.

This allows you to connect the APEX hose to components that use a compatible Push to Connect connector, without having to change the entire hose just because the connection method is different.

Why do you need this link?

When setting up a tire inflation system or modifying an air system, the hose sizes and connection methods may vary from one piece to another.

Having a suitable connector helps you join compatible parts together; you need to switch to a Push-to-Connect system. Instead of changing hoses or searching for unsuitable solutions, you can choose a connector designed for the required dimensions.

This makes it a useful piece when setting up air systems or modifying their connections.
