FAQs
What size fuel line is compatible with this connector?
These connectors are designed for fuel lines with a 14mm inner diameter, suitable for both nylon pipes and rubber hoses.
Can I use these connectors for AdBlue lines?
No, these connectors are specifically for fuel lines and are marked with a grey tab. AdBlue specific connectors have red tabs and are designed for different fluid compatibility and system requirements.
What is the maximum operating pressure for these connectors?
They can withstand a constant running pressure of 5 bar (72psi) and a maximum pressure of 7 bar (101psi).
What materials are the connectors made from?
The connector body is made from Nylon PA12, and the O-ring seal is made from FKM (Viton) for enhanced durability and chemical resistance.
What is the temperature range for these connectors?
These connectors are designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 120°C.
Are these connectors a direct replacement for any specific standard?
Yes, these connectors are manufactured to meet SAE J2044-220908 standards, ensuring quality and compatibility with lines manufactured to the same specifications.
How do I disconnect the fuel line from the connector?
To disconnect, you need to slide back the grey locking tab on the connector and then pull the fuel line away. Ensure the system is depressurized before attempting disconnection.
Troubleshooting
Connector will not click into place
Ensure the fuel line is fully inserted onto the barbed end of the connector and that there is no debris obstructing the connection point.
Leak detected at the connection point
Confirm the fuel line is the correct 14mm inner diameter and is securely seated. Inspect the O-ring for damage or debris and re-seat or replace if necessary. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
Connector difficult to disconnect
Ensure the locking tab is fully depressed or pulled back. Check for any obstructions or damage to the locking mechanism. Sometimes gentle wiggling can help.
Connector seems loose after installation
Verify that the fuel line is fully seated on the barbed end and that the locking mechanism has engaged properly. Some flexibility is normal, but excessive looseness indicates an improper connection or incorrect hose size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the vehicle's fuel system is depressurized before disconnecting any fuel lines.
- Verify that your fuel line has an inner diameter of 14mm (nylon pipe or rubber hose).
- Slide the connector's locking mechanism back.
- Firmly push the fuel line onto the barbed end of the connector until it is fully seated.
- Release the locking mechanism to secure the connection.
- Repeat for the other end of the connection, ensuring both lines are correctly attached to their respective connectors.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with nylon pipes and rubber hoses having a 14mm inner diameter.
- Designed for standard fuel systems; the grey tab indicates fuel usage. *Note: AdBlue specific connectors have red tabs and are not interchangeable for AdBlue applications.*
- Not suitable for applications exceeding 7 bar (101psi) maximum pressure.
Care:
- Inspect connectors regularly for signs of damage, cracks, or wear.
- Clean external surfaces with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the nylon or rubber.
- Ensure connections are clean and free of debris before installation to maintain a proper seal.
