Video Transcript for Review of Firestone Elbow Connector QTY 25 1/4 Inch NPT - F3031

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Firestone elbow connector. Now you can either get this as just one fitting or you can get a set of 25 of them. So, whichever quantity is going to work best for you, just take the appropriate part number that you see there on your screen, pop it in the search field on our website, that will take you to that quantity and you can add that to your order. Now this elbow connector is going to be a simple replacement fitting for air suspension system that use a quarter of an inch airline tubing and a quarter of an inch NPT port.

One end has a male quarter of an inch NPT threads and then the other end is going to be this push connect, push to connect fitting for a quarter of an inch tubing. The 90 degree shape is gonna be especially useful if there's not much room above or around the air spring, tank or other component. Now this is going to be mainly for someone who's replacing a leaking, damaged, corroded or broken fitting or for someone who needs to route the airline into a tighter space than a straight connector would allow. This can also save you from having to buy an entire replacement kit when only one fitting needs to be replaced. But the big thing to check before picking this up is the sizing of course.

This fitting is specifically for quarter of an inch tubing, as I mentioned, and it has a quarter of an inch male NPT threaded end. Some of our neighbors have run into problems because they've ordered the wrong thread size, so do be aware of that. Both measurements are worth confirming for the application. But installation's gonna be pretty straightforward. However, access can be tight depending on where the fitting is located.

Again, a few of our neighbors have mentioned that getting a wrench onto the fitting around an airbag can be difficult and it's possible to damage the connector if too much force is used. Also a clean square cut on the air tubing is important because an uneven or angled cut can cause leaks at the push to connect side. So those are just a few things that I've heard back from our neighbors that I wanted you to be aware of. The construction material of the fitting may vary so the exact appearance or material may not always match an older fitting.

Again, I'm putting the part numbers up there again for you if you just need one or 25. I think it's going to wrap up our look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
