This \u003cstrong\u003eDOT brass swivel hose coupling\u003c\/strong\u003e distributed by FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires terminates \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in ID DOT air brake hose\u003c\/strong\u003e in a \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in NPT swivel\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the hose can be routed and then torqued without winding the line up on itself. A hose twisted during assembly fights back for the rest of its service life: it rubs the frame rail, work-hardens at the ends and finally splits under pressure on a cold morning. 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\u003eNo Twist, No Leak: The 3\/8 In Swivel Coupling Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eswivel\u003c\/strong\u003e is the entire point of this fitting. With a fixed end you have to spin the hose itself to tighten the joint, and whatever twist you put in stays in. Here the \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in NPT\u003c\/strong\u003e end turns independently of the hose, so you set the route first and tighten second, and the line lies exactly where you put it. That single detail is the difference between a hose that ages out on schedule and one that comes back to you chafed through in a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003ebrass\u003c\/strong\u003e air fitting for air brake hose, and Automann lists this fitting family as meeting \u003cstrong\u003eFMVSS 571.106 \/ DOT requirements for brake circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is ordinary air brake plumbing hardware for tractors and trailers, matched to \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in ID DOT air brake hose\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the swivel is what keeps that hose lying flat once it is torqued. At FleetPro Parts \u0026amp; Tires we keep the small brass on the shelf, because the smallest fitting in the system is the one that actually strands a truck.
