Description
Part Description:
G7000P Series Air Brake Push-to-Connect fittings conform to DOT FMVSS 571.106 requirements for air brake applications and are branded accordingly. Push-to-connect fittings have several advantages over conventional compression style fittings. They are much faster to install, there are no loose nuts and sleeves to fiddle with during installation, and in tight spaces, no wrench is required when the tubing is attached. Additionally, male pipe (NPT) connectors have thread sealant pre-applied for convenience and further time savings during installation. Users should be aware that many push-to-connect fittings are available on the market, but only DOT branded fittings should be used in air brake applications. G7000P Series fittings are DOT accepted for all air brake applications except lines from the frame to the axle and lines between towing and towed vehicles. For these applications, use G7000 Series Air Brake Compression fittings or, for use with rubber hose, G4300 Series Air Brake Hose fittings.
