- Brass compression fittings are commonly used in D.O.T. air brake systems. They create a secure, leak-proof connection by compressing a ferrule onto the tubing when tightened.
- These fittings are ideal for copper, brass, and plastic tubing applications. They provide a reliable seal without requiring soldering or special tools.
- Brass NPT (National Pipe Tapered) fittings feature tapered threads that create a tight seal when assembled. They are widely used in D.O.T. air brake applications.
- The tapered design allows the threads to wedge together, creating a mechanical seal. Thread sealant or tape is typically used to ensure a leak-free connection.
- Push-in fittings, also known as push-to-connect fittings, allow for quick and easy installation without tools. Simply push the tubing into the fitting for an instant, secure connection.
- Available in both brass and composite materials. Brass push-in fittings offer durability and strength, while composite versions provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative that reduces overall system weight.
- These fittings are ideal for D.O.T. air brake systems requiring frequent assembly and disassembly. They feature a release mechanism that allows for easy disconnection when needed.
