Reducer piece Antari FTA-64, hose adapter 1×6 mm to 1×4 mm

Reducer piece Antari FTA-64 is a compact hose adapter designed to convert a 1×6 mm connection to a 1×4 mm connection. Manufactured by Antari, this mechanical fitting provides a straightforward solution for adapting hoses with different inner diameters in effects machines and related fluid or gas transfer systems. The adapter's small form factor allows it to be installed in confined spaces and integrated into maintenance or repair workflows where precise diameter matching is required.

Advantages

The reducer piece offers a simple mechanical transition between two common hose sizes without the need for complex tools. Its compact construction reduces the risk of leaks when properly installed and helps maintain consistent flow characteristics by providing a snug fit between 1×6 mm and 1×4 mm hoses. The part is suitable for quick swaps during setup or routine servicing and minimizes downtime by eliminating the need to replace entire hose assemblies.

Suitable for

• Adapting fluid or gas lines on stage effects machines and fogger units
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring diameter conversion between 6 mm and 4 mm hoses
• Prototyping or custom installations where mixed hose diameters must be joined
• Compact installations with limited space for fittings

Key specifications

• Input hose size: 1×6 mm
• Output hose size: 1×4 mm
• Function: mechanical hose reducer/adapter for fluid or gas transfer
• Form factor: compact inline fitting suitable for tight spaces

How to use

Ensure both hoses are clean and free of debris before installation. Push the 6 mm hose onto the larger end of the reducer and the 4 mm hose onto the smaller end until each hose seats fully; use appropriate clamps if required by the application to secure connections and prevent leaks. Verify the adapter orientation matches the intended flow direction if applicable, and test the system at low pressure first to confirm a secure fit and leak-free operation. During regular maintenance, inspect the adapter and surrounding hoses for wear or degradation and replace the fitting if any signs of damage appear.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible hose materials and proper clamps or retainers when working with pressurized fluids or gases. Avoid excessive bending or torsion near the fitting to preserve seal integrity and prolong service life.
