Aircraft Metal Flow Control 8Mm X 1/2' M

AirCraft Metal Flow Control 8mm x 1/2" Male Thread (SG MSC08-04)

At a Glance: Precision metal flow control valve with 8mm push-in tube port and 1/2" male threadâ"dial in stable airflow and smoother pneumatic motion.

When your pneumatic system uses a larger threaded port but still needs precise airflow control, the AirCraft SG MSC08-04 Metal Flow Control is built to deliver smooth, adjustable performance.
It connects 8mm PU tubing via a push-in port to a 1/2" male threaded connection, letting you fine-tune airflow for cylinder speed control, stabilising air circuits, and reducing harsh bursts in compressed air lines.
Tough metal construction makes it a dependable choice for workshop and industrial pneumatics where reliability is non-negotiable.

Extra Information

• Ideal for pneumatic cylinders, actuator speed control, air circuits, and regulated compressed air lines.
• For best sealing, use clean, square-cut 8mm tubing and ensure it is fully seated in the push-in port.
• Many flow controls are directionalcheck for any arrow/markings on the body (if present) to confirm recommended flow direction.
• Admin info (not for specs table): Confirm product weight and dimensions from your database / packaging.

Safety

• Always depressurise the air system before installing, removing, or adjusting pneumatic fittings.
• Wear eye protection when working with compressed air lines and push-in fittings.
• Do not over-tighten threaded connectionstighten securely and use an appropriate thread seal (if required).
• After installation, perform a leak test and verify stable operation before returning equipment to service.
