D.O.T Air Brake Fittings for Copper Tube

Applications:
Used with SAE J1149 Type 1 copper tubing in air brake system, except for where temperature is under -40°F(-40°C) or above +200°F(+93°C) or where battery acid can drip on tubing.

Advantages:

• Meet D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106 air brake specifications.
• Meet functional requirements of the SAE 246 & SAE J1131 when assembled with NTA63 inserts.
• Machined from CA360 brass.
• Easy to assemble (no tube support or flaring required.)   
• Body can be interchangeable with NTA body. For details, please see NTA fittings.

DOT air brake fittings for copper tube are a crucial component of air brake systems used in commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trailers. These fittings are designed to provide a reliable and efficient connection between copper brake tubing and other components of the air brake system. In this introduction, we will discuss the features and benefits of DOT air brake fittings for copper tube.

DOT air brake fittings for copper tube are made of high-quality materials such as brass, which provides durability and resistance to corrosion. Their compact and lightweight design makes them easy to install and maintain. The fittings have a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, making them suitable for a wide range of air brake applications.

One of the key benefits of DOT air brake fittings for copper tube is their compatibility with different types of copper tubing, including soft copper tubing, which is commonly used in air brake systems. Additionally, their design allows for easy installation and removal, which can save time and effort during maintenance or repairs.

Another benefit of these fittings is their ability to withstand high levels of vibration and shock. This is essential in air brake systems where components are subjected to continuous vibration and shock, which can cause damage and reduce the effectiveness of the system. The fittings' robust construction ensures that they can withstand these conditions, providing a reliable connection between brake tubing and other components.

DOT air brake fittings for copper tube also meet or exceed the standards set by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for air brake systems in commercial vehicles. This ensures that they are safe and reliable, and comply with all regulations and requirements.
