Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically connects two air brake lines together. It’s got a male thread on both ends, hence the name, and you tighten it to create a secure, airtight seal. It’s designed for use with air brake systems, so it’s built to handle the pressure those systems generate. It's a simple connector, but it needs to be strong and reliable. Think of it as part of the air highway running through your vehicle. Your air brakes need compressed air to work, and this fitting is one of the junctions where those air lines connect. You’ll find these used throughout the entire air brake system—connecting the compressor to the reservoir, the reservoir to the valves, and so on. It’s not something you’ll see easily, it’s usually hidden within the lines, but it's essential.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, this is a safety item. If one of these fittings leaks, you lose air pressure, and that directly impacts your ability to brake. You’ll notice if you have a leak—you might hear a hissing sound, or the brakes might feel spongy or slow to respond. A leaking fitting can lead to complete brake failure, so it’s crucial to keep these in good shape. They’re relatively inexpensive, and replacing a worn or damaged one is a lot cheaper than dealing with brake problems. You can find them pretty easily—we stock a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and other auto parts places will too. Just make sure you get the right size and thread for your system.
