Edelmann 166540 Brass Compression Fitting 5/16" Tube x 1/4" NPT Female

The Edelmann 166540 is a straight brass compression fitting designed for low- and medium-pressure automotive and fluid line applications. This fitting features a 5/16 inch tube size connection to 1/4-18 NPT female pipe threads, providing a versatile solution for connecting tubing to threaded ports.

Key Features:

• Brass construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• 5/16" compression fitting to 1/4"-18 NPT female threads
• Includes ferrules for complete installation
• No flaring or soldering required for installation
• Rated for applications up to 250 PSI maximum pressure
• Creates secure, leak-free connections through wedging action
• Meets SAE standards for quality and performance

Installation: To install, simply place the nut and sleeve over the tubing, insert the tube into the fitting body as far as possible, and tighten the nut. The wedging action of the sleeve between the body and nut creates a tight, leak-free connection without the need for special tools or flaring equipment.

Important Note: This fitting is designed for low- and medium-pressure applications only (maximum 250 PSI). Do not use in brake systems or applications with excessive vibration or tube movement. Not suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications.
