Keep your truck’s braking system running with Truckstop
Air brake fittings are a vital part of any truck’s pneumatic braking system, ensuring that air lines remain securely connected and free from leaks. At Truckstop, our collection includes brake fittings, stud couplings, bulkhead couplings and push‑in fittings, each engineered to withstand the pressures and conditions of heavy‑duty use.
Brake fittings provide secure connections between air lines, valves, and chambers. Poor‑quality or worn fittings can lead to air leaks, pressure drops or inconsistent brake response. Replacing damaged fittings promptly helps maintain stable air pressure and ensures the braking system performs as intended.
Stud couplings are commonly used to join air lines or connect them to valves and chambers. Their threaded design provides a strong, reliable seal capable of withstanding high pressure. A worn or corroded stud coupling can compromise the entire circuit, making regular inspection and replacement essential.
Bulkhead couplings are used where air lines pass through panels or mounting points. They provide a secure, sealed connection that prevents chafing, vibration damage or air loss.
Push‑in fittings are widely used in modern air brake systems, offering a quick and efficient way to connect air lines without the need for tools. Their internal locking mechanism provides a tight seal while allowing for easy removal during maintenance.
Truckstop offers air brake fittings from manufacturers known for producing durable, high‑quality components. With UK nationwide delivery, we make it straightforward to maintain the air brake fittings your vehicles rely on every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes air leaks around brake fittings?
Common signs of fitting‑related issues include audible air leaks, slow pressure build‑up, uneven braking or visible damage to connectors. Addressing these problems early prevents further wear on the system and reduces the risk of brake failure.
Are push‑in fittings reliable for heavy‑duty air brake systems?
Yes. Push‑in fittings are widely used in modern commercial vehicles and provide a secure, leak‑free connection when installed correctly and kept free from contamination.
When should bulkhead couplings be used?
Bulkhead couplings are ideal when air lines pass through panels or mounting points. They protect the line from abrasion and ensure a secure, sealed connection.
How can I tell if the air brake fitting part will work with my truck?
Simple. If you add the item to your cart, and let us know your vehicle registration using the option on the cart page, we'll check the part fits before we process your order. If it doesn't match the vehicle, we'll get in touch to discuss your options.
