These fittings are manufactured from steel for strength and durability.
The thread size is 3/8 x 24 UNF.
They are designed to fit brake pipes with a 3/16" outer diameter.
The threads go all the way to the end, allowing for maximum engagement with the flared pipe, which results in a more secure and reliable connection compared to fittings with a limited thread length.
They are suitable for use on copper or copper nickel brake pipes.
The zinc plating provides corrosion and rust resistance, extending the life of the fitting, especially in harsh automotive environments.
Each pack includes 10 pieces.
Ensure the brake pipe end is properly and cleanly flared. Check that the thread pitch (3/8 x 24 UNF) matches the receiving component and that there is no cross-threading.
Verify that the brake pipe was correctly flared and that the fitting is tightened sufficiently. Inspect the flare and fitting for any damage. Ensure the correct pipe size was used.
Store fittings in a dry environment. Surface oxidation on zinc plating is normal over time but should not significantly impact performance if the threads are clean.
