Frequently asked questions

Should I use thread tape or thread sealant on air fittings?

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.

How do I avoid leaks with push-to-connect fittings?

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.

Can I reuse push-to-connect fittings and airlines?

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.

What is the purpose of the 1/4 Drain Cock for Air Tank?

The 1/4 Drain Cock for Air Tank is designed to allow for the easy removal of moisture and debris from your air tank. Regular drainage helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of your air suspension system by preventing corrosion and ensuring optimal performance.

How often should I drain my air tank using the drain cock?

It is recommended to drain your air tank at least once a month, or more frequently if you operate in humid conditions. Regular drainage helps to keep the system free from moisture, which can lead to performance issues and damage over time.

Is the 1/4 Drain Cock compatible with all air tanks?

The 1/4 Drain Cock is designed to fit standard air tanks that accept 1/4 inch fittings. Always check your air tank specifications to ensure compatibility before installation.

Can I use the drain cock with other brands of air tanks?

Yes, the 1/4 Drain Cock can be used with other brands of air tanks as long as they have a compatible 1/4 inch fitting. However, for optimal performance and reliability, it is recommended to use Boss components with Boss systems.

How do I install the 1/4 Drain Cock on my air tank?

To install the 1/4 Drain Cock, simply thread it into the designated 1/4 inch port on your air tank. Ensure it is securely tightened to prevent leaks. Always use a liquid thread sealant for a reliable seal.

What should I do if the drain cock leaks?

If the drain cock leaks, first check that it is properly tightened. If the leak persists, remove it and inspect the threads for damage. Reapply liquid thread sealant and reinstall. If issues continue, consider replacing the drain cock.
