Fast, Secure, and Universal
Whether you are plumbing a pneumatic cylinder on a robotic arm or connecting air valves on a semi-trailer, the Straight Push-In Fitting is the go-to connector. Designed for efficiency, it allows tubes to be connected by simply pushing them in, while the threaded end secures the fitting to the equipment. Victory Technology offers a comprehensive range of straight fittings to suit every port size and tube diameter.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I choose between APC and APCF?
A: Check your equipment’s port. If the port is a hole (female thread), use APC (Male). If the port is a stud (male thread), use APCF (Female).
Q: Do I need sealant tape?
A: For M-Thread and G-Thread (BSP) fittings with O-rings, NO tape is needed. For R-Thread (BSPT) and NPT tapered threads, using PTFE tape or liquid sealant is recommended if pre-applied sealant is not present.
Q: Can these be used for truck air brakes?
A: Yes, they are widely used in auxiliary systems. For primary brake lines, always ensure you are using DOT-compliant PA12 tubing.
