Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these fittings made of steel?

No, these are manufactured from high-quality brass to provide superior corrosion resistance.

Can I use these for fuel lines?

These are specifically engineered for hydraulic braking systems using 1/4 inch pipe; verify your fuel system's pressure and thread requirements before use.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

Yes, you require a standard pipe flaring tool to create the necessary flare on the end of your 1/4 inch brake pipe.

What size brake pipe do these fit?

These fittings are exclusively designed for 1/4 inch hydraulic brake pipes.

How many fittings are in the pack?

The pack contains a total of 20 fittings, consisting of 10 male and 10 female connectors.

Are these compatible with metric systems?

No, these are imperial 7/16 inch x 20 UNF threads and are not compatible with metric brake ports.

Troubleshooting

Fitting will not thread into the port

Verify the thread pitch is exactly 7/16 inch x 20 UNF. If the port is dirty or rusted, clean the threads with a wire brush before re-attempting.

System leaks after installation

Check the pipe flare for cracks or debris. Ensure the fitting is tightened sufficiently to seat the flare against the internal port base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality brass material resists rust and corrosion effectively
  • Balanced set of 20 pieces covers both male and female requirements
  • Precision engineering ensures consistent thread engagement
  • Ideal for custom line fabrication or repair jobs

Cons

  • Strictly limited to 1/4 inch pipe diameters
  • Only fits 7/16 inch x 20 UNF thread specifications
  • Requires professional flaring tools for proper installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these fittings, you must first have the correct 1/4 inch brake tubing and a professional-grade flaring tool.

  1. Cut your brake line to the desired length.
  2. Slide the fitting onto the tubing before performing the flare.
  3. Create a clean, double-flare or bubble-flare (as required by the specific connection type) on the end of the tubing.
  4. Thread the fitting into the corresponding port by hand initially to avoid cross-threading.
  5. Tighten with a flare nut wrench to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

Regularly inspect fittings for signs of moisture or weeping. Because brass is a softer metal than steel, avoid overtightening, which can strip the threads or distort the seat.
