1/2 Hex Nipple

Boss recommends using a liquid thread sealant rather than thread tape. Small fragments of thread tape can break off, travel through the airlines and lodge in valves or valve blocks, causing them to stick open or closed. A quality thread sealant seals the threads without shedding debris.

Always cut the airline square with a sharp tube cutter, not side cutters. Push the tube firmly into the fitting until it bottoms out, then pull back gently to seat the collet. Most leaks are caused by angled cuts, scratched tube, or the line not being fully inserted.

You can often reuse fittings and lines if they are in good condition, but if the tube end is scratched, oval or has been repeatedly removed, it is safer to cut back to a fresh section or replace it. Damaged tube ends are a common source of slow leaks.

The 1/2 HEX NIPPLE is a crucial air fitting that connects various components of your air suspension system, such as airbags and air lines. It ensures a secure and leak-free connection, which is vital for maintaining optimal air pressure and performance.

Yes, the 1/2 HEX NIPPLE is designed to be compatible with all Boss air suspension kits that utilise 1/2-inch fittings. However, it is important to ensure that it is used in conjunction with appropriate components to maintain system integrity.

The 1/2 HEX NIPPLE is made from high-quality brass, which provides excellent durability and resistance to corrosion. This ensures a long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions.

To install the 1/2 HEX NIPPLE, ensure that the threads are clean and free from debris. Apply a liquid thread sealant to the threads to prevent leaks. Screw the nipple into the fitting until snug, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.

The 1/2 HEX NIPPLE is designed to withstand high pressures typical in air suspension systems. It is tested to ensure it can handle pressures significantly above the maximum working pressure of standard air suspension applications, providing peace of mind during operation.
