Key Features & Benefits

This fitting essentially connects sections of your air brake lines. It’s a way to join the air lines together securely, and it’s designed to handle the pressure needed for a functioning air brake system. It's got threads on both ends, so you screw it in, tighten it up, and it creates a sealed connection. They come in different sizes and thread types to match the lines you’re working with. Think of your air brake system as a network, like plumbing in your house. This fitting is just one of those connectors, making sure the air gets where it needs to go – to the brakes. It’s a critical part of the whole air system that lets the driver control stopping power, especially in larger vehicles like trucks, buses, or trailers.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, these fittings are super important for safety. If one of these fails, or leaks, you lose air pressure, and that directly affects your ability to stop. It acts like a shield, keeping the pressurized air contained. You’ll notice if you have a leak usually – a hissing sound, or a drop in your air pressure gauge. A small issue with one of these can turn into a big problem quickly, so it’s vital to keep everything in good condition. If you're doing any repair work on your air brake lines, replacing these fittings is often a good preventative step. We carry a good selection of these, and you can find them on Fixparts Online if you want to take a look at the different sizes and configurations.
