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 72 ADAPTOR 3/8-Female x 1/4-Male?

The 72 ADAPTOR 3/8-Female x 1/4-Male is designed to connect different sizes of air fittings within your air suspension system. It allows for seamless integration between components that have varying thread sizes, ensuring a secure and efficient connection.

What materials are used in the construction of this adaptor?

This adaptor is constructed from high-quality materials that ensure durability and resistance to wear. The robust design is built to withstand the pressures typically found in air suspension systems, providing reliable performance over time.

Can the 72 ADAPTOR be used with other brands of air fittings?

Yes, the 72 ADAPTOR 3/8-Female x 1/4-Male can be used with other brands, provided that the thread sizes are compatible. However, for optimal performance and reliability, it is recommended to use Boss fittings with Boss components.

What are the typical applications for this adaptor?

This adaptor is commonly used in air suspension setups, particularly in Load Assist kits, where it connects air lines to airbags or compressors. It is ideal for both new installations and upgrades to existing systems.

Is there any special installation advice for using this adaptor?

When installing the 72 ADAPTOR, it is recommended to use a liquid thread sealant on the threaded connections to prevent leaks. Ensure that the fittings are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.

What is the maximum pressure rating for this adaptor?

The 72 ADAPTOR is designed to handle pressures typical of air suspension systems. While specific pressure ratings can vary, it is built to withstand the demands of standard air suspension applications without compromising performance.
