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 REDUCING NIPPLE 3/8-1/4?

The REDUCING NIPPLE 3/8-1/4 is designed to transition connections from a 3/8 inch fitting to a 1/4 inch fitting in air systems. This allows for compatibility between different sizes of air lines and components, ensuring a seamless integration into your air suspension setup.

What materials are used in the construction of this reducing nipple?

This reducing nipple is manufactured from high-quality materials that ensure durability and reliability. It is designed to withstand the pressures typically found in air suspension systems, making it suitable for both professional and DIY applications.

Can the REDUCING NIPPLE 3/8-1/4 be used in high-pressure applications?

Yes, the REDUCING NIPPLE 3/8-1/4 is engineered to handle the pressures associated with air suspension systems. However, always ensure that the overall system pressure does not exceed the rated limits of the components being used.

Is this fitting compatible with other Boss Air Suspension products?

Absolutely. The REDUCING NIPPLE 3/8-1/4 is designed to work seamlessly with other Boss Air Suspension components, including air tanks, compressors, and airbags, allowing for efficient integration in Load Assist kits.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection when using this fitting?

To achieve a leak-free connection with the REDUCING NIPPLE 3/8-1/4, it is recommended to use a liquid thread sealant on threaded fittings instead of thread tape. Ensure that all connections are tightened properly and that the tubing is cut squarely and fully inserted into push-to-connect fittings.
