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 FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT? ⌄

The FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT is designed to provide a reliable connection in air suspension systems. It ensures a secure and leak-free interface between air lines and components, which is crucial for maintaining optimal air pressure in your suspension setup.

What materials are used in the FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT? ⌄

The FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT is constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. This enhances its longevity and performance in various environmental conditions.

How do I install the FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT? ⌄

To install the FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT, ensure that the threads are clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable liquid thread sealant to the threads, then screw the fitting into the corresponding 1/4 NPT port, tightening securely without over-torquing.

Can the FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT be used for high-pressure applications? ⌄

Yes, the FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT is designed to withstand high pressures commonly found in air suspension systems. However, always ensure that it is used within the specified pressure limits of your overall system to prevent failures.

How does the FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT differ from other fittings? ⌄

The FLARE FITTING-1/4NPT features a flare design that provides a more secure connection compared to standard fittings. This design helps to prevent leaks and ensures a stable connection under varying pressure conditions, making it ideal for air suspension applications.
