Tectran Air Brake Air Line Union

When every connection counts, even the smallest fitting plays a big role. The Tectran Air Brake Union creates a tight, DOT-compliant seal between two ½” nylon air brake tubes—helping maintain pressure in critical braking and suspension systems. The Tectran 1362-8 is built with a solid brass body for durability, and features rubber components that contribute to vibration resistance and sealing performance. Despite its compact size—just 0.5” x 0.5” and weighing only 0.03 lbs—it’s tough enough for high-pressure, high-vibration environments.
