Product details
This is a brass compression fitting sized 1/8 in. by 1/4 in., used on the solution line connection of a commercial carpet extractor detail tool, stocked as part 14-1758-06.
Brass earns its place here because it shrugs off the corrosion that cleaning chemicals cause in cheaper metals, and it keeps sealing reliably through the repeated tightening and loosening that comes with swapping tools in the field.
- Part: 14-1758-06
- Size: 1/8 in. x 1/4 in.
- Material: brass
- Type: compression fitting
Confirm the thread and tube sizes on your detail tool and solution line before ordering, since compression fittings across brands are not all built to the same dimensions. A compression fitting seals by compressing a ferrule against the tube as the nut is drawn down, and over-tightening past what is needed can deform the ferrule and cause the exact leak you were trying to prevent. Hand-tighten until snug, then add only a modest additional turn with a wrench rather than forcing it further.
