This Eaton Weatherhead 1460X6 air brake tubing sleeve is a replacement component for an air brake tubing union (body and nut sold separately). It is .390" in length and fits tubing with a 3/8" outside diameter (OD). It is made of CA360 Brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. It has a maximum operating pressure of 150 pounds per square inch (psi) and a temperature range of -40 to +200 degrees F. It meets Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards and Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications FMVSS 571.106. This replacement sleeve is suitable for use in air brake systems with nylon tubing except when temperatures exceed 200 degrees F or when battery acid can drip onto the tubing.
Tube fittings are components used for connecting, branching, terminating, and changing the direction of tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. They are made of brass, stainless steel, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and other materials that resist corrosion and wear. Tube fittings have various types of connections, including threaded, welded, barbed, and push-to-connect (also called one-touch). Push-to-connect connections do not require tools or sealants. Tube fittings are used in various applications, including machine tools, airplane and truck controls, and automated production lines, among others.
Eaton manufactures electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power equipment. The company, founded in 1911, is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.
