Installation Tips (Professional & DIY)
- Safety first: Ensure the vehicle is secured and the brake system is depressurized before starting work.
- Align precisely: Line up the tee's ports with the brake lines to prevent skewing or undue stress on fittings.
- Hand-start fasteners: Hand-start the adapter screws to avoid cross-threading; then tighten evenly with the appropriate wrench.
- Torque & bleed: Tighten to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended torque values (if available). After installation, bleed the brake system following manufacturer instructions to remove air and ensure correct operation.
- Inspect for leaks: Carefully check all connections after the initial pressurization and during a short test drive. Recheck torque after the first heat cycle if practical.
Safety & Maintenance
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines when working on brake systems. Replace damaged or corroded fittings immediately. Check connections regularly for signs of wear or leaks and perform routine brake inspections.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is this tee compatible with other tube sizes?
- This 3-way tee is designed for 3/16" (10mm) brake tubing. Using other tube sizes without appropriate adapters is not recommended.
- Can I install this myself?
- Experienced DIYers comfortable with brake work can install this fitting, but brakes are safety-critical. If unsure, have a qualified mechanic perform the installation and bleeding procedure.
- How do I know if the fitting is leaking?
- Look for wetness, brake fluid pooling, or a soft brake pedal under pressure. If you suspect a leak, stop using the vehicle and inspect/replace fittings immediately.
