Product description

This Short Orientable Union is a specialized pneumatic fitting used in the internal air plumbing of Snap-On tire changers. It features a swivel (orientable) design that allows technicians to position the air lines at the perfect angle without kinking or straining the tubing. The 6/4 X 1/8 specification indicates it is designed for precision 6mm metric tubing and features a 1/8-inch threaded connection. Over time, plastic fittings can become brittle and crack, or the swivel mechanism can develop leaks under constant movement. Installing this high-quality union ensures an airtight connection and provides the flexibility needed for the moving parts inside a tire machine's base or tower.

Product highlights

• 360-Degree Orientation: The swivel design allows for perfect tube alignment, reducing strain on air lines and preventing kinks.

• Metric Compatibility: Specifically designed for 6mm OD / 4mm ID metric pneumatic tubing commonly used in European-designed shop equipment.
• Compact Profile: The "short" design allows for installation in tight spaces where standard fittings might not fit.
