When it comes to building or upgrading an air horn or air suspension system, many people focus on the big components—like the compressor or air tank—and overlook one of the most crucial parts: the fittings. High-quality fittings are essential because they serve as the connection points for your entire air system. If a fitting leaks, cracks, or isn’t properly rated for pressure, it can compromise the entire setup, leading to air loss, reduced performance, or even complete failure.
Using low-grade or mismatched fittings may save money upfront but often leads to costly repairs or replacements later. Brass fittings, in particular, are preferred in air systems due to their corrosion resistance, excellent durability, and ability to maintain a tight seal even under high pressure. They're especially beneficial in environments exposed to moisture, heat, or vibration—common conditions in vehicles with custom air setups.
For a reliable system, it's important to use fittings that match your tubing size and NPT thread type.
