It is DOT approved for heavy-duty air brake systems, which is exactly what a brake circuit needs instead of a hardware-store guess. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLeak-Free Air Lines: The Brass PLC Male Connector Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebrass body and collet construction\u003c\/strong\u003e is why this fitting outlives the plated steel it usually replaces. Brass shrugs off the road salt, condensate and under-chassis moisture that corrode a steel fitting from the thread out, and it will not seize into an aluminum valve body. The \u003cstrong\u003epush-to-connect\u003c\/strong\u003e design keeps the repair simple: there is no ferrule to lose and no sleeve to crush, so a line can be rebuilt on the shoulder with a tubing cutter and nothing else. Give the tube a firm pull once it bottoms out to confirm the collet has bitten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 in tube end and a 1\/8 in NPT male thread end\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is the small-port workhorse of truck and trailer air plumbing: gauge and pressure-switch lines, small control ports and accessory taps. It is \u003cstrong\u003enylon tube compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e, weighs 0.05 lbs and ships in a 1.15 x 0.65 x 0.65 in package, so a few spares live easily in the side box.
