It goes without saying that air brake fittings are important to the proper functioning of your brakes. However, if you do not care for them properly, they can cause you a lot of problems later on. Keep in mind that when air brake pipes are made out of lighter material such as aluminum, instead of heavier metal, the resulting end product is much more reliable and efficient than other kinds of pipe. In addition to this, air brake lines are usually more resistant to corrosion and also to breakage. Air brake lines are especially important for heavy vehicles and large trucks. Therefore, it is always advisable to keep a few of these fittings around.
The two main styles of fittings that you will come across include internal-ventilation and external-ventilation. Internal-ventilation air brakes fittings are actually more common than external-ventilation ones, although external-ventilation tubes are starting to become obsolete because they can get too hot due to their constant exposure to sunlight. However, you need to make sure that you buy the correct one for your vehicle model. The diameter of the air tube should be directly proportional to the diameter of the brake cylinder. If the tube diameter is smaller than the cylinder diameter, it will have more drag and will not perform as well as necessary.
Air compression fittings are available today in many forms. The most common ones are the compression hoses. There are also pressure gauges and pressure switches which are used for various purposes. If you want to change the pressure or the volume of the air supplied to the brake system, you need to open the valve of the corresponding tube. You can use either the screw pump or the valve connecter to accomplish this.
If you want air brake fittings, you should go for those fittings which have been made from high-quality material. These days, you can find both new and used compression fittings. When buying new ones, make sure that the valve mechanism is locked. This ensures that the fitting will not leak. You can easily find quality replacement fittings at reputable auto parts dealers.
