Low-Temperature/High-Pressure D.O.T. Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Air
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
- Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 65D) nylon plastic
- Specifications Met:
Cartridges: D.O.T. FMVSS 571, SAE J2494-4, SAE J1131
All other fittings: D.O.T. FMVSS 571
Connect high-pressure brake lines with fittings that won’t crack in frigid temperatures. Often used on commercial trucks and trailers, these fittings meet Department of Transportation FMVSS 571 safety standards. Also known as instant fittings, they connect to tubing with a simple push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring will hold the tubing tight. A built-in tube support slips inside the tubing to prevent it from collapsing. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. All have good corrosion resistance.
Straight cartridge fittings create a push-to-connect junction between equipment and tubing in your system. They’re designed to be used in unthreaded 6061 aluminum ports. If you want to use them in a different material, you may need to adjust the hole size for optimum performance. To install them, create a hole in your surface and push the fitting’s components into place before inserting the tubing until it’s flush against the tube stop.

Low-Temperature D.O.T. Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Air
- Temperature Range: -40° to 210° F
- Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 65D) nylon plastic
- Specifications Met: D.O.T. FMVSS 571, SAE J1131, SAE J2494-1, SAE J2494-3
except Identification Rings: D.O.T. FMVSS 571
Connect air brake lines with fittings that won’t crack in sub-zero temperatures. They meet Department of Transportation FMVSS 571 safety standards, so they’re often used in commercial trucks and trailers. Also known as instant fittings, they connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and O-ring hold the tubing tight. Fittings have a built-in tube support that slips inside the tubing to prevent it from collapsing. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. They have good corrosion resistance. Use them at up to 150 psi and attach them to hard tubing.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads. The male threads have an acrylic sealant applied to protect against leaks.
