Installation & Safety Instructions
- Depressurize the braking system and ensure the vehicle is safely supported before beginning work.
- Align the three ports of the T-shaped tee with the corresponding brake lines so that ports are not skewed or misaligned.
- Hand-thread each inverted nut onto the corresponding pipe end. When properly aligned, tighten the nuts evenly to the manufacturer's torque specification for brake fittings.
- After installation, apply hydraulic pressure and visually inspect all joints for leaks. Perform a functional brake test in a safe environment.
- Regularly inspect the tee and connections for corrosion, wear or fluid leakage. Replace immediately if any sign of deterioration appears.
Safety note: Brake components are critical to vehicle safety. If you are not qualified to work on brake systems, have a certified mechanic perform the installation and leak tests.
Compatibility & Use Cases
This 3/16" brake line tee is ideal for most automotive brake lines that use 3/16" tubing. It is also suitable for related fluid connections where the working pressure is within the rated limit.
- Automotive brake line unions and repair kits
- Cooling system or radiator fittings with 3/16" connections
- Air conditioning inner/outer unit fluid lines
- Custom hydraulic or pneumatic assemblies rated within the working pressure
