DOT Tubing and Fittings for Brake System Connections

DOT Tubing and Fittings

Our Fittings Contact Us

We carry DOT Tubing developed for brake system connections that maintain a basically fixed relationship between couplings during vehicle operation. Our tubing is made from nylon and is available in more than ten colors for quick identification of lines. Our Air Brake tubing is produced in a Type A (Single-wall extruded Nylon) and a Type B (Nylon core, Fiber reinforcement, Nylon jacket) tubing. Both Type A and Type B meet specifications SA J844 and DOT FMVSS 49CFR 571.106. In addition, these products are 100 percent pressure tested and operate up to 200°F.

By definition, seamless means “perfectly consistent”. However, many people confuse the terms “seam-free” and “welded-and-drawn” when it comes to selecting tube. Seamless tubing, welded tubing and seam-free tubing all appear to be consistently free of seams. However, a closer look reveals significant differences. We will discuss the differences between these types of stainless steel tubing.

How to Choose Your Hydraulic Fitting

How to Choose Your Hydraulic Fitting

Our Fittings Contact Us
Hydraulic fittings can connect a variety of materials, including tubes, pipes or hoses to components such as pumps, valves or cylinders. When combining these components, you create a leak free system that hydraulic fluid allows for safe transmission. There’s a multitude of fitting configurations and variations to choose from. So, designers have the ability to change the direction of flow, split flows and alter the elevation of lines. Therefore, we have put together some information on how to choose your hydraulic fitting.
