Rubber Brake Line Length and Connections

if they are dot approved fittings you should be ok--i am not sure what you mean by quick connect--we used the brass fittings with ferules inside---the name escapes me right now

 

I think they are supposed to be,.....

 

By quick connect are you referring to Parker Prestolok "quick connect" fittings like these?

If so these can be bought at any parker store DOT approved.

But if your talking about these then I'm not sure.

I know people who use them (mainly the people who run the air lines out the back of the truck frame and under the trailer) and the DOT hasn't said anything but if their legal I have no idea.

 

with those quick connect--not sure if i would use them--i dont think they are dot approved--the ones i am talking about--same ones that go into brake pot---

 

They're called "Prestomatic" and are more expensive than the normal compression fitting but worth every penny. No tools required, just push the air line in and your done. To remove you just push the collar in and pull, the higher the pressure the harder they grab.
