Question by: Vince L on Feb 11, 2026, 7:41 AM
does this adapter need any thread sealant or tape when you put it on, or is it good to go as-is?
Answer by: Customer Support on Feb 12, 2026, 2:04 PM
No sealant or tape required on this one. The NPTF threading on the 3/8 end is designed to seal mechanically without any compound, and the 3/4-20 USF swivel end connects the same way. Just make sure both mating threads are clean and in good shape before you torque it down.
Question by: Rusty W on Aug 21, 2025, 4:57 PM
trying to swap out an old union on an air brake line, is this the one that goes 3/8-18 NPT on one side and 3/4-20 USF swivel on the other?
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 23, 2025, 6:39 AM
For a straight male to male adapter with those threads, it matches. One end is 3/8-18 male NPTF and the other end is 3/4-20 USF male with a swivel, with end sizes called out as 0.375 inch and 0.75 inch.
