Key Features & Benefits

Basically, a tee fitting does exactly what it sounds like – it joins three sections of air line together. It’s a simple connector, but it’s built to handle the pressurized air that runs your brakes. They come in different sizes depending on the diameter of the lines you’re working with, and you’ll want to make sure it’s rated for the pressure your system puts out. You’ll see them made of plastic or metal, usually steel, and sometimes brass. In your air brake system, these fittings are used throughout the lines connecting everything – the compressor, the reservoir, the brake chambers on the wheels. Anywhere you need to split the air line or add a new connection, you’ll likely find a tee fitting. It’s a small part, but it’s part of the network that gets your brakes working.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s critical this part doesn’t leak. Air brakes rely on consistent pressure, and even a small leak in a fitting can reduce braking power. Think of it as a link in a chain—if one link fails, the whole thing is compromised. The fitting itself acts like a shield, keeping the air contained where it needs to be. You’ll notice if one starts to fail because you might hear a hissing sound, or your brakes might feel spongy. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you’re looking, and it’s always a good idea to replace them when you're doing other air brake work, just as preventative maintenance.
