Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a fitting DOT compliant?

They meet specific safety standards set by the Department of Transportation, ensuring they can withstand the pressures, vibrations, and temperatures of air brake systems.

Can they be used in non-transportation applications?

Yes, these fittings are excellent for any industrial pneumatic system requiring high-pressure durability and secure connections.

Are they interchangeable with standard fittings?

No. Standard fittings do not meet DOT safety requirements and should never be used in regulated air brake systems.

How do I ensure ongoing compliance?

Perform regular inspections and timely replacements. Using non-compliant parts during a repair voids the safety integrity of the system.
