Below is a selection of our "Standard" End Fittings, all in
Stainless Steel.
Hover the mouse/cursor over the picture for a short explanation. If in
doubt..... ASK - were here to help you!
 | Size Explanation: |
 | "03" is a 3/8", 24 TPI thread, (Common to
the "Dash 3" and Early UK and American Parts) |
 | "18" is 1/8" BSP-Parallel Thread (An old
British Thread, not highly recommended) |
 | "31" is M10x1.00mm Metric Thread Most common
Light Motor Vehicle Thread for Brake Components) |
 | "32" is M10x1.25mm Metric Thread (Mainly used on
Motorcycles) |
 | "44" is 7/16", 24 TPI thread (often found on
Harley-Davidson & Tilton Cylinders) |
 | Thought there was one missing? NO. we deliberately
left "NPT" (National Pipe Tapered) thread out, as this should NOT
be a Hose End Fitting for Brake Lines. One should use an adaptor
first! However Willwood still manufactures the vast majority of Calipers
with NPT thread. (See below for notes on NPT.) We stock the 1/8" NPT to
"Dash 3" Adaptors in 316L Stainless Steel. |
 | Important Notes: 1) on Female Swivel Elbows ALERT can
bend these to suit basically ANY angle from 1 through to 112 degrees! Male
Swivel Elbows are limited to angles between 1 & 90 degrees. 2) on
most male and female ends we can supply both Convex and Concave ends; 3)
We have a huge range of adaptors to suit virtually any size used in Brake
Systems, for example from 7/16"-24 to 3/8"-24 Male/Male Adaptors,
and stock a very large range of "Dash 3" Bulkhead Fittings in
straight, 45 and 90 degrees. |
Notes on NPT Threads:
National Pipe Tapered threads must be sealed
appropriately with a) the correct adaptor and b) using a "Pipe Thread
Sealant" or Paste. When using this paste or sealant, ensure the
resistance to Brake Fluids is stated. Apply manufacturers recommended Torque
to the adaptor only. This is very important, due to the fact that when over tightening
"tapered" fittings, housings or components can easily develop
Hairline Cracks resulting in leakage.
An important additional note on NPT
versus BSPT: There is 1 TPI (Thread Per Inch) difference and are NOT
interchangeable. Infact if mixed this may cause leakage - be very carefull!
