FAQs

What material are these brake pipe fittings made from?

These fittings are made from solid brass, offering excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

What size hydraulic pipe do these fittings fit?

They are designed to fit 3/16" (4.75mm) hydraulic brake pipes.

The thread size is M10 x 1mm (short male).

Can I use these fittings with steel brake pipes?

These fittings are designed to connect to flared hydraulic pipes. While they can connect to a steel pipe that has been properly flared to the correct size, the fitting itself is brass.

How many fittings are included in this pack?

Do these fittings come with a warranty?

Please refer to the seller's specific return and warranty policy for details, as this is not explicitly stated in the product description.

Troubleshooting

Fitting does not screw in smoothly.

Check that you are using the correct thread size (M10 x 1mm) and that the pipe is properly flared. Ensure no debris is present in the threads of either the fitting or the mating component.

Leak detected after installation.

Verify that the brake pipe is correctly flared and seated within the fitting. Ensure the mating thread is also correct and tightened appropriately. Check the integrity of the brake pipe itself.

Fitting feels loose after initial tightening.

The brake pipe may not be fully seated or correctly flared. Re-examine the pipe end and attempt to tighten slightly more, ensuring not to overstress the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from solid brass for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Bright finish offers an aesthetic appeal and added protection.
  • Precise M10 x 1mm threading ensures a secure connection.
  • Designed for standard 3/16" hydraulic brake pipe sizes.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of 10 for multiple uses.

Cons

  • Specific thread size (M10 x 1mm) limits compatibility.

  • May not be suitable for high-pressure applications beyond standard automotive braking systems.
  • Brass can be softer than steel, requiring careful tightening to avoid damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the end of your 3/16" (4.75mm) hydraulic brake pipe is properly flared using a suitable flaring tool.
  2. Screw the M10 x 1mm short male fitting onto the corresponding female thread of a brake hose, inline union, or master cylinder.
  3. Gently tighten the fitting using an appropriate wrench. *Do not overtighten*, as this can damage the threads or the fitting itself.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Size: Exclusively designed for 3/16" (4.75mm) hydraulic brake pipes.
  • Thread Size: M10 x 1mm male thread. Ensure this matches the female thread on the component you are connecting to.
  • Material: Suitable for use with standard brake fluid.

Care:

  • Keep fittings clean and dry when not in use.
  • Store in a plastic bag or container to prevent dust and debris accumulation.
  • If cleaning is required, use a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture remains.
