RTC Air Plug - 3/8" Male BSP (Aro 210 Profile)
Heavy-Duty Pneumatic Connection for High-Flow Tools
The RTC 3/8" Male Aro Plug is engineered for industrial environments where standard 1/4" fittings create a bottleneck. Featuring a larger 3/8" BSP thread, this plug is the professional choice for high-torque impact wrenches, large grinders, and air manifolds that require maximum CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) to operate at peak performance.
Technical Specifications
- Profile Standard: Aro (210 Style)
- Thread Size: 3/8" BSP (British Standard Pipe)
- Gender: Male (External Thread)
- Material: High-Grade Hardened Steel (Zinc Plated)
- Interchangeability: Compatible with Jamec PEM 210, CEJN 300, and Rectus 22 series.
Why Choose RTC Hardened Steel Fittings?
Unlike soft brass or unhardened steel alternatives, RTC air plugs are heat-treated to withstand the constant "hammering" effect of high-vibration pneumatic tools.
- Eliminate Air Leaks: Precision-machined tolerances ensure a 100% airtight seal with your Aro couplers.
- Maximum Durability: Resists "mushrooming" and wear on the plug shoulder, extending the life of your couplers.
- Increased Airflow: The 3/8" bore reduces pressure drop, ensuring your tools receive the full power of your compressor.
Common Applications & Interchange
The Aro 210 profile is the standard for NZ workshops. This 3/8" male plug is ideally suited for:
- Main airline manifolds and drop-downs.
- Heavy-duty 1/2" and 3/4" impact wrenches.
- Inlet ports for high-volume spray equipment.
- Professional workshop air hose assemblies.
Pro-Tip: Choosing the Right Thread
In New Zealand, most air tools and compressors utilize BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads. Ensure your manifold or tool is 3/8" BSP before ordering. Use high-quality PTFE tape or thread sealant for a permanent, leak-free connection.
