APEX 3/8 Hose to 1/4 NPT Male Fitting with Aluminium Cover Nut
An APEX fitting that adapts a 3/8" APEX Hose to a 1/4 NPT male thread. It comes with an aluminium cover nut that protects the hose end and tidies up the whole connection. It is also suitable for higher-temperature applications, such as a connection to an air compressor.
APEX 3/8 Hose to 1/4 NPT Male Fitting with Aluminium Cover Nut
At the compressor the hose has the hardest life: heat, vibration and constant reconnecting.
This fitting was made for that spot - it adapts APEX 3/8 hose to a male 1/4 NPT thread, and the manufacturer lists it for higher-temperature applications such as air compressors.

Frequently asked questions
Is the cover nut included?
Yes. The manufacturer states the fitting comes with an aluminium cover nut.
Will it fit a compressor?
The manufacturer lists higher-temperature applications such as air compressors. The port is a male 1/4 NPT thread - check that your hardware has a female 1/4 NPT socket.
How does it differ from the cheaper cover-nut version?
APEX offers several 3/8 to 1/4 NPT fittings under separate part numbers. This one, X02-11-015, is described by the manufacturer as the version with an aluminium cover nut, also intended for work at elevated temperature.
Why it is worth it
- a hose end protected by an aluminium cover nut rather than left bare
- a genuine APEX Designs and Performance Products part
