When the time comes to choose a part for a truck or trailer, it’s very important to confirm its warranty and brand. Many truckers are based on price and after a few miles, the part ends up defective. If you spend a little more you will save more when putting your truck on the road.

DOT approves compression and also push-to-connect fittings. The main reasons to choose these fittings are:

- Air pressure brake accessories (push-to-connect) are smaller and better adapted to be installed in a limited area. They are made to be easily assembled and disassembled.
- The installation of compression fittings requires tools.
- The advantage of using push-to-connect in your truck`s air system is that it is safer to prevent air leakage. Compared to compression fittings that have to be tightened frequently with a specific wrench to obtain a correct seal. Frequent readjustments can affect the tube and enhances the chances of future leaks.
- It is uncommon for push-to-connect fittings to require maintenance or adjustment after installation so that they do not leak.

Push-to-connect fittings are manufactured by two different types of materials: brass and composite. Brass options do not become brittle, corrode or rust in extreme cold temperatures and can be easily installed by just one person, which saves a lot of time and labor cost comparing it to compression fittings.

Composite fittings are made with brass screw threads and a polymer body. This option of fitting provides the same savings of brass fittings but are more economic, lightweight and durable.
