This 1/4in bore hose tail cable-end adaptor provides a compact mechanical transition between a 1/4in internal diameter pneumatic hose and a standard threaded air fitting or cable-style termination. It is used where a flexible air hose must be securely terminated and connected to workshop air tools, inflators, control valves or short cable-run terminations in compressed-air systems.

The adaptor is machined from solid brass for good machinability and corrosion resistance, with a nickel-plated finish to give extra surface protection in humid workshop or garage environments. The hose spigot is sized for a 1/4in internal-diameter hose and is serrated to retain rubber, PVC or reinforced braided hose when used with a hose clip or crimp ferrule. The threaded end is 1/4in BSP (parallel) to BS 21 / ISO 228-1 standard and includes hexagonal spanner flats so the fitting can be tightened with a standard spanner; no head or drive type is required beyond conventional spanner/flat tightening.

Typical applications include pneumatic airline assemblies, tyre-inflation kits, bench compressors, workshop air-tool whip leads and light industrial plant where a compact hose-to-thread termination is required. It is commonly used across automotive workshops, maintenance departments, agricultural equipment, small-scale manufacturing and HVAC service work. The fitting is compatible with common 1/4in BSP pneumatic couplers and standard workshop hose assemblies.

Key benefits include the intrinsic corrosion resistance and ductility of brass plus the protective nickel plating, making the adaptor suitable for repeated assembly and disassembly. The 1/4in BSP thread ensures broad compatibility with UK and European pneumatic fittings conforming to BS/ISO pipe-thread standards, and the serrated tail design provides a secure grip on hose when used with an appropriate clip or crimp sleeve. Its compact form and spanner flats make installation and replacement straightforward in confined spaces.

Duchy Fasteners stocks this style of hose tail adaptor in a range of bore sizes and thread options and offers single items and multi-pack quantities to suit one-off repairs or larger maintenance programmes.
