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 applications is the 1/4 TUBE X 1/4NPT FEMALE fitting suitable for? ⌄

The 1/4 TUBE X 1/4NPT FEMALE fitting is ideal for various air suspension applications, including Load Assist kits and airbag installations. Its reliable connection makes it suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professional installers looking to enhance their air suspension systems.

How does the non-tapered thread design benefit installation? ⌄

The non-tapered thread design ensures a consistent and reliable seal, reducing the risk of leaks during operation. This design allows for easier alignment and installation, making it a preferred choice for air suspension setups.

What is the maximum working pressure for this fitting? ⌄

The 1/4 TUBE X 1/4NPT FEMALE fitting is designed to handle standard air suspension pressures. For specific pressure ratings, refer to the technical specifications provided by Boss Air Suspension or consult with a qualified installer.

Is any special installation technique required for this fitting? ⌄

When installing the 1/4 TUBE X 1/4NPT FEMALE fitting, it is recommended to use a liquid thread sealant rather than thread tape. This helps prevent fragments from breaking off and causing blockages in the airline.

What is the difference between this fitting and tapered thread fittings? ⌄

The key difference is in the thread design: non-tapered threads provide a consistent diameter along the length, allowing for a more secure connection without the risk of over-tightening. Tapered threads, on the other hand, create a seal by wedging tighter as they are screwed in, which can lead to potential leaks if not properly installed.
