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.

Can the PY1/4-1/8NPT Y Male Thread be used with other brands of air suspension systems?⌄
Yes, the PY1/4-1/8NPT Y Male Thread fitting is designed to be compatible with various air suspension systems. However, it is recommended to ensure that the specifications match your existing components for optimal performance.
How does the double-sealing feature of this fitting benefit air systems?⌄
The double-sealing feature of the PY1/4-1/8NPT Y Male Thread provides enhanced leak resistance, ensuring that air pressure is maintained effectively within the system. This contributes to the overall reliability and efficiency of your air suspension setup.
Is the PY1/4-1/8NPT Y Male Thread suitable for high-pressure applications?⌄
While the PY1/4-1/8NPT Y Male Thread is designed for standard air suspension pressures, it is important to verify the specific pressure ratings of your air system. Always ensure that all components are rated for the intended application to maintain safety and performance.
What installation considerations should I keep in mind when using this fitting?⌄
When installing the PY1/4-1/8NPT Y Male Thread fitting, ensure that all threaded connections are properly sealed using a liquid thread sealant to prevent leaks. Additionally, check that the fitting is fully inserted into the receiving component to avoid any potential air loss.
