FAQs
What is the maximum pressure these connectors can handle?
The connectors can handle a constant running pressure of 5 bar (72.5 psi) and a maximum burst pressure of 7 bar (101.5 psi).
What temperature range are these connectors suitable for?
They are designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F).
Can I use these connectors on diesel fuel lines?
Yes, the FKM seals are compatible with most automotive fuels, including diesel, provided the pressure and size requirements are met.
What sizes of fuel lines do these connectors fit?
They are designed for 10mm outer diameter nylon fuel pipes and 12mm inner diameter rubber fuel hoses.
What does the '45° Angled' refer to?
It refers to the angle of the connector body itself, allowing for easier routing of the fuel line in tight spaces compared to a straight connector.
What material are the seals made of?
The O-ring seals are made from FKM (Viton), known for its excellent resistance to fuels and high temperatures.
Are these connectors reusable?
Yes, these connectors are designed for repeated use, provided they are disconnected and reconnected properly without damage.
Troubleshooting
Connector does not click or lock securely
Verify the fuel line size matches the connector's specification (10mm nylon OD or 12mm rubber ID). Ensure the fuel line end is cut squarely and is free of obstructions or deformation. Check for any damage to the connector's locking tabs.
Fuel leak detected after connection
Disconnect and re-seat the connector, ensuring it clicks into place fully. Inspect the fuel line end for damage or unevenness. Check the FKM O-ring inside the connector for proper seating and absence of damage. Ensure the fuel line material is compatible with the connector.
Connector difficult to disconnect
Press the release tabs firmly and evenly while gently pulling the connector. Ensure the locking tabs are fully depressed. If debris has entered the connector, carefully try to clear it without damaging the internal mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Angled design simplifies installation in tight spaces.
- Durable nylon and FKM materials offer long service life.
- High pressure and temperature ratings ensure reliable operation.
- Meets industry standards for safety and performance.
- Clear fuel identification tab aids in proper application.
Cons
- Specific size requirements (10mm nylon / 12mm ID rubber) limit universal application.
- Requires precise alignment for optimal sealing.
- Not suitable for applications exceeding 7 bar pressure.
- Requires compatible fuel line material for secure connection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the fuel line ends are clean and free from debris. For nylon pipes, verify they are precisely 10mm in outer diameter. For rubber hoses, confirm an inner diameter of 12mm. Slide the connector onto the fuel line until a distinct click is heard, indicating the locking mechanism has engaged. Always ensure the connection is secure before restoring fuel pressure. The grey tab should face outwards for easy identification.
Compatibility: These connectors are designed for 10mm nylon fuel lines and 12mm inner diameter rubber fuel hoses. They are compatible with most common automotive fuels. Confirm your vehicle's fuel line specifications match these requirements before installation. Not intended for high-pressure diesel return lines or non-fuel applications.
Care: Regularly inspect connectors for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh solvents. Ensure the locking tabs remain functional. No lubrication is typically required for the internal mechanism.
