FLARE FITTING 1/8NPT

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.

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.

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.

This fitting is specifically designed for use with Boss Air Suspension systems. While it may work with other systems that utilise 1/8NPT threads, it is recommended to use Boss fittings for optimal compatibility and performance.

The FLARE FITTING 1/8NPT is constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. This enhances its longevity and reliability in various environmental conditions.

Boss recommends using a liquid thread sealant instead of thread tape on the FLARE FITTING 1/8NPT. Thread tape can fragment and cause blockages in the airline, leading to potential issues with valve operation.

The FLARE FITTING 1/8NPT features a flare design that provides a more secure connection compared to standard fittings. This design helps prevent leaks and ensures a tighter seal, making it suitable for high-pressure applications in air suspension systems.
