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 FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT fitting?

The FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT is a 90-degree push fit fitting designed to connect a 3/8" airline to a 1/2" NPT threaded port. It allows for efficient routing of air lines in tight spaces, making it ideal for custom installations.

How does the push fit mechanism work?

The push fit mechanism allows for quick and easy installation. Simply push the 3/8" airline into the fitting until it is fully seated. The internal collet grips the airline securely, ensuring a leak-free connection.

Can I use this fitting with any type of air line?

The FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT is specifically designed for use with 3/8" diameter air lines. Ensure that your air line is compatible with push fit fittings to achieve optimal performance.

What are the typical applications for the FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT?

This fitting is commonly used in air suspension systems, pneumatic tools, and any application requiring a reliable air connection in confined spaces. Its 90-degree design helps to navigate tight corners effectively.

Is this fitting suitable for high-pressure applications?

The FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT is designed to handle standard air pressures typically found in air suspension systems. However, always check the specific pressure ratings of your system to ensure compatibility.

How does this fitting compare to straight fittings?

The 90-degree design of the FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT allows for more flexible routing of air lines compared to straight fittings. This can be particularly beneficial in tight installation spaces where a straight fitting may not fit.

What should I consider when installing this fitting?

When installing the FIT-PL-3/8-N4UT, ensure that the airline is cut squarely and fully inserted into the fitting to prevent leaks. Additionally, use a suitable thread sealant on the NPT thread to ensure a secure connection.
