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.

Is the 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket compatible with all air fittings?

This brass hex socket is specifically designed for use with Boss Air Suspension systems. While it may fit other standard air fittings, it is recommended to use it within the Boss ecosystem for optimal performance and reliability.

What materials are used in the construction of the 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket?

The 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket is constructed from high-quality brass, which offers excellent durability and resistance to wear. This ensures a long-lasting performance in various air suspension applications.

Can the 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket be used in DIY air suspension projects?

Yes, the 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket is suitable for both professional and DIY applications. Its robust design makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to upgrade or build their air suspension system.

What are the typical applications for the 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket?

This hex socket is typically used in Load Assist kits for vehicles, providing the necessary fittings for airbags. It is ideal for enhancing vehicle stability when towing or carrying heavy loads.

How does the 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket differ from other fittings?

The 26 3/8 Brass Hex Socket is specifically designed for high-pressure air systems, offering a more secure and leak-resistant connection compared to standard fittings. Its brass construction also provides superior durability compared to plastic or lower-quality metal options.
