This Eaton Weatherhead 1868X10X6 air brake tube adapter fitting is suitable for connecting air brake tubes to female NPT receptacles in air brake systems. It has 3/8" male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on one end and a Department of Transportation (DOT) push-in tube receptacle on the other for use with 5/8" outside diameter (OD) tubes. The fitting is made of CA360 brass for strength and resistance to corrosion, and has an operating temperature range of -40 to +200 degrees F (-40 to +93 degrees C). It has a vacuum pressure rating of 150 pounds per square inch (psi) and meets DOT FMVSS 571.106 and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1131 standards for air brake system performance. This air brake tube adapter fitting is suitable for use in air brake systems for trucks, buses, trailers, railroad trains, and other large vehicles where temperatures do not exceed 200 degrees F and battery acid cannot drip on tubing.
Tube fittings are components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and other materials that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others.
Eaton manufactures electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power equipment. The company, founded in 1911, is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.

I ordered 2 of these, and received the correct items. The photo shows a 350 amp fuse, not an airbrake fitting.

These are tough high quality fittings I trust for critical connections much more than the cheaper knock-offs. Air leaks stink!

Eaton is a good brand known in big box stores for the electrical fittings and boxes they sell. I trust them when they say these are DOT certified unlike the other chinesium you see on here. These solved every problem I was experiencing with the cheap fittings I got from the same manufacturer as my tubing. They are all metal and a completely different construction as Same rules apply: clean, right angle cuts but it I dont anticipate any problems moving forward. I also trust the teflon on these threads unlike the white paint on the other guy's loose, plastic fittings. I didnt need a $10 10 pack anyway, I needed $18 of 3 three great, worry-free fittings.

Very well constructed brass push to connect fitting! I use these on my airbag suspension because they are solid brass and are constructed out of quality materials. Bottom line, I have NEVER had one fail!I highly recommend these fittings.CPS
