Product Information

Full details

This 15-piece set of Connect Assorted 90° Angled AdBlue Quick Connectors is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with AdBlue systems. The primary benefit is the 90° angle, which facilitates easy connection in tight engine bay spaces, ensuring secure and leak-free fuel line connections. A key consideration is that these connectors are specifically for AdBlue and feature red tabs for identification; standard fuel connectors have grey tabs, so mixing them can lead to issues.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these connectors suitable for regular diesel fuel lines?

No, these connectors are specifically designed for AdBlue (DEF) systems and feature red tabs for identification. Using them on standard diesel fuel lines is not recommended and could lead to system contamination or failure.

What does the 90° angle achieve?

The 90° angle allows the fuel line to bend sharply at the connection point. This is crucial for routing lines in tight engine compartments, preventing kinks and ensuring a cleaner, more organized installation.

How do I know which size connector to use?

The set includes connectors for fuel lines with 6mm and 8mm inner diameters. You will need to measure or identify the specific size of your AdBlue fuel line to select the appropriate connector.

What is the maximum operating pressure for these connectors?

These connectors can handle a constant running pressure of 7 bar (101psi) and a maximum pressure of 9 bar (130psi).

What material are the connectors made from?

The body of the connectors is manufactured from nylon PA12, and the O-ring seal is made from EPDM rubber.

What is the recommended procedure for installing these connectors on hard plastic fuel pipes?

For hard plastic pipes, it is recommended to use a pipe insertion tool (such as Laser Tools Part No. 6933) to slightly expand the pipe end before fitting it onto the connector. This ensures a secure and leak-free seal.

Troubleshooting

Connector is difficult to push onto the fuel line.

Ensure you are using the correct size connector for the fuel line's inner diameter. For hard plastic lines, use a pipe insertion tool to slightly ease the fitting process. Warming the end of the plastic pipe slightly (using a heat gun on a low setting, carefully) can also help.

Connector leaks after installation.

Verify the connector is fully seated and has clicked into place. Inspect the O-ring for damage or debris. Ensure the fuel line is not damaged or deformed where it connects to the barb.

Connector cannot be disconnected.

Ensure the locking tabs are fully depressed. If stuck, gently try to wiggle the connector while pressing the tabs. Avoid excessive force that could damage the connector or fuel line.

Connector does not fit the fuel line.

Double-check the inner diameter of your fuel line (6mm or 8mm) and confirm it matches the specified size for the connector being used. Note that different connectors in the set are for different sizes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates installation in tight spaces due to the 90° angle.
  • Clear color-coding (red tabs) for AdBlue systems prevents accidental use with standard fuel lines.
  • Durable materials offer longevity and resistance to common automotive fluids and temperatures.
  • Quick and secure connection/disconnection mechanism saves time during maintenance.
  • Comprehensive set provides options for various fuel line sizes (6mm and 8mm).

Cons

  • Specifically designed for AdBlue; not interchangeable with standard fuel line connectors.
  • Requires specific tools like the Laser Tools Pipe Connector Insertion Tool (Part No. 6933) for easier fitting onto hard plastic pipes.
  • The 15-piece set might include more specific sizes than some users may need.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle's AdBlue system is depressurized and disconnected from power before beginning.
  2. Identify the correct connector size (6mm or 8mm inner diameter) for the AdBlue fuel line.
  3. For hard plastic pipes, it is recommended to use a tool like the Laser Tools Pipe Connector Insertion Tool (Part No. 6933) to slightly expand the pipe end for easier fitting onto the connector barb.
  4. Push the connector firmly onto the fuel line until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure seal.
  5. Repeat for all necessary connections.

Compatibility:

  • These connectors are specifically designed for AdBlue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid - DEF) systems.
  • They are compatible with fuel lines having an inner diameter of 6mm and 8mm.
  • Do not use these connectors for standard diesel or gasoline fuel lines, as they are color-coded red for AdBlue identification.

Care:

  • Inspect connectors periodically for signs of wear or damage.
  • Clean exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the nylon or EPDM materials.
  • Store connectors in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
