This Sealey Straight Adaptor is designed for users of pneumatic systems needing to connect an 8mm metric nylon tube to a 1/4" BSP imperial thread. Its key benefit is providing a secure, corrosion-free connection suitable for pneumatic applications. A minor consideration is that it's sold in packs of five, which may be more than needed for a single application.

This adaptor is designed for 8mm OD (Outer Diameter) nylon tubing.
The adaptor features a 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) male thread.
This adaptor is specifically designed for pneumatic (air) systems and is not recommended for water or liquid applications.
The tubing is secured by an acetal copolymer collet with stainless steel teeth that grip the nylon tube when it is pushed into the fitting.
The body is made from an acetal copolymer engineering plastic, which is suitable for pneumatics and is corrosion-free.
No, thread sealing tape is not included. It is recommended to use appropriate PTFE tape on the 1/4" BSP thread for a secure seal, depending on the receiving port.
Each pack contains 5 straight adaptors.
Ensure the 8mm nylon tube is pushed in fully and is cut cleanly and squarely. Reinsert the tube, making sure it's seated correctly against the internal seal. Check the tube for any damage or deformation.
Verify that the 1/4" BSP thread is properly sealed with appropriate thread sealant tape (e.g., PTFE tape) if required by the receiving port. Ensure the thread is correctly aligned and not cross-threaded. Tighten the connection securely but avoid over-tightening.
Confirm you are using 8mm OD nylon tubing. Ensure the end of the tube is clean, cut square, and free from burrs. The fitting may have a collet lock; ensure it is not fully engaged before insertion, then push the tube in firmly.
Check that the collet teeth are gripping the nylon tube correctly. Ensure the tube is inserted to its full depth. If the fitting is used repeatedly, the collet or tube end might be worn; consider replacing the tube or adaptor.
Setup: To install, simply push the 8mm nylon tubing firmly into one end of the adaptor until it seats completely. On the other end, screw the 1/4" BSP thread into the corresponding port. Ensure the thread is engaged properly and tighten using appropriate tools, being careful not to overtighten.
Compatibility: This adaptor is specifically designed for use with 8mm OD (Outer Diameter) nylon tubing and standard 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) threaded ports. It is intended for pneumatic applications and should not be used with liquids or for high-pressure hydraulic systems.
Care: Given the corrosion-free nature of the materials, minimal care is required. Periodically check connections for secure seating. If cleaning is necessary, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents, which could degrade the plastic or rubber components.
