Dexter Orifice Connector 0.016, 1/8 Inch MNPT to 3/16 Inch Inverted Flare Female, Trailer Drum Brake Fitting

This Dexter orifice connector is a hydraulic fitting used in trailer drum brake systems to regulate brake fluid flow between the brake actuator and the wheel brake lines. It features a 0.016 inch orifice that meters fluid delivery, along with a 1/8 inch MNPT (male national pipe thread) connection on one end and a 3/16 inch female inverted flare fitting on the other. This combination allows the connector to join a pipe-threaded fluid line to a standard 3/16 inch inverted-flare brake line, a common configuration in trailer surge brake and hydraulic brake plumbing.

The orifice connector is a small, precisely sized fitting designed to maintain consistent brake performance by controlling the rate of fluid flow through the line. It is intended for use as a direct replacement or repair component when servicing trailer brake hydraulic lines. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to install in tight spaces along the trailer frame or near the axle.
