D.O.T Air Brake Brass Fittings

DOT NTA brass fittings for air brake systems are an essential component of air brake systems. They are used in conjunction with SAE J844 Type A and Type B nylon tubing, as well as in-cab air controls. These fittings are ideal for use in most air brake systems, with the exception of those where the temperature is under -40°F(-40°C) or above +200°F(+93°C), or where battery acid can drip on the tubing.

One of the main advantages of DOT NTA brass fittings is that they meet D.O.T. FMVSS 571.106 air brake specifications. This means that they are designed to meet the highest standards for safety and reliability in air brake systems. Additionally, these fittings meet the functional requirements of the SAE 246 & SAE J1131, ensuring that they are compatible with other components of air brake systems.

DOT NTA brass fittings are machined from CA360 brass, which is a high-quality, corrosion-resistant alloy that is well-suited for use in air brake systems. This material is strong and durable, making it ideal for use in harsh environments where it may be subjected to high pressures, vibration, or temperature extremes.

Another significant advantage of DOT NTA brass fittings is that they are easy to assemble. They do not require any tube preparation or flaring, and they come with a built-in tube support to help ensure a secure fit. This makes them ideal for use in situations where time is of the essence, or where assembly must be done quickly and efficiently.

In summary, DOT NTA brass fittings are a reliable, high-quality component of air brake systems. They meet the highest safety and reliability standards, and are compatible with other components of air brake systems. Their use of durable materials and ease of assembly make them an ideal choice for many applications.
