FAQs
Is this compatible with my MT4 or MT6 brakes?
This specific M6 fitting is intended for Magura rim brakes and MT2 models from 2015 onwards. Please check your specific caliper thread size before use.
Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?
Generally, it can be installed by hand, though a small wrench may be used if the port is recessed. Always use care to avoid damaging the caliper threads.
Can I use this with DOT fluid?
No. Magura brake systems are designed to use Magura Royal Blood mineral oil. Using DOT fluid will damage the seals and internal components of the brake.
How often should I replace this fitting?
If the threads remain clean and the barb is not deformed, the fitting can be reused many times. Inspect it for signs of wear before each use.
Does this come with a seal or O-ring?
The fitting is designed to create a seal based on the specific machining of the Magura bleed port; verify if your specific caliper requires an additional crush washer.
Troubleshooting
Fitting does not thread into caliper port
Verify that your brake model is an MT2 from 2015 or newer or a compatible Magura rim brake; the M6 thread is not universal across all brake brands.
Fluid leaks from the base of the fitting
Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Tighten the fitting slightly, but do not exceed the recommended torque for the caliper port.
Bleed tubing keeps sliding off the barb
Use a small zip-tie or hose clamp around the tubing on the barbed end to secure the connection against higher pressures.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures an airtight seal for effective brake bleeding
- Essential for consistent lever feel and stopping power
- Designed specifically for compatibility with Magura proprietary systems
- Resistant to degradation from mineral oil
Cons
- Not compatible with Magura MT brakes older than 2015
- Requires specific Magura-compatible bleed tubing for proper fit
- Strictly limited to M6 thread-compatible calipers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, carefully hand-thread the M6 fitting into the caliper bleed port until it is snug; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the threads. Ensure the barbed end is free of debris before sliding your bleed tubing over it. Regarding compatibility, this component is exclusively designed for Magura rim brakes and MT2 model hydraulic disc brakes manufactured from 2015 onwards. After use, clean the fitting thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual mineral oil, and store it in a dry, dark place to prevent the polymer or metallic components from environmental wear.
