1/4 TUBE BULKHEAD FITTING

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 1/4 Tube Bulkhead Fitting is designed to provide a secure connection point for 1/4" airline tubing, allowing for easy passage through walls or panels in your air suspension system. It ensures a leak-free connection while maintaining the integrity of your setup.

To install the 1/4 Tube Bulkhead Fitting, drill a hole in the desired panel that matches the fitting's diameter. Insert the fitting through the hole and secure it with the provided nut. Ensure the airline is pushed fully into the fitting to prevent leaks.

Yes, the 1/4 Tube Bulkhead Fitting is compatible with standard 1/4" airline tubing from various brands. However, ensure that the tubing is of good quality to maintain optimal performance and prevent leaks.

This fitting is commonly used in air suspension systems, particularly for connecting airlines to air tanks, compressors, or control valves. It is ideal for setups where airlines need to pass through a barrier, such as a vehicle's chassis or body.

The 1/4 Tube Bulkhead Fitting is designed for use in air suspension systems and can handle typical pressures associated with these applications. However, always ensure that the pressure ratings of your entire system are compatible to avoid failures.

The primary difference between the 1/4 Tube Bulkhead Fitting and other fittings is its design for passing through panels securely. Unlike standard push-fit connectors, this bulkhead fitting provides a neat and professional finish while maintaining a strong connection.

Absolutely! The 1/4 Tube Bulkhead Fitting is perfect for DIY air suspension projects. Its ease of installation and compatibility with standard airline tubing make it a practical choice for custom setups.
