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 HEX NIPPLE in an air suspension system?

The 1/4 HEX NIPPLE serves as a connector between 1/4 fittings in your air suspension system. It ensures a secure and efficient link, facilitating the flow of air between components such as airbags and brackets in Load Assist kits.

What material is the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE made from?

The 1/4 HEX NIPPLE is crafted from durable brass, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. This ensures longevity and reliability in your air suspension setup.

Is the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE compatible with other brands of air fittings?

Yes, the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE is designed to connect with standard 1/4 fittings, making it compatible with various brands. However, it's always best to verify the specifications of your existing components to ensure a proper fit.

Can I use the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE in high-pressure applications?

While the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE is robust and designed for standard air suspension applications, it is essential to ensure that the pressure ratings of your system do not exceed the specifications of the nipple. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for safe operating pressures.

What are the typical use cases for the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE?

The 1/4 HEX NIPPLE is typically used in air suspension systems to connect air lines, integrate brackets with airbags, and assist in the construction of Load Assist kits. It is ideal for both professional installations and DIY projects.

What is the difference between the 1/4 HEX NIPPLE and other air fittings?

The 1/4 HEX NIPPLE is specifically designed for connecting 1/4 fittings, providing a robust and reliable link. Unlike some other fittings that may use crimped connections, the hex nipple offers a threaded connection that is less prone to failure under pressure.
