High-Volume Airflow for Industrial Tools
The NKC Y-NL23PM is a 3/8" Male BSP Hi-Flo air plug, engineered in Japan for high-performance pneumatic systems. This plug is specifically designed for tools that require a larger volume of air (CFM) to operate at full power, such as heavy-duty impact wrenches, large sanders, and spray equipment.
Key Performance Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this plug fit a 1/4" air hose?
No, this plug features a 3/8" BSP thread. If you are using a standard 1/4" air line, you would typically need the NL22PM model or a suitable reducer. This 3/8" version is designed for larger tools requiring higher air volume.
Why is "Japan-Made" important for air fittings?
Japanese pneumatic fittings like NKC are world-renowned for their tight tolerances and metal quality, meaning they are less likely to leak or deform under high pressure compared to generic cast fittings.
