D.O.T TRANSMISSION FITTINGS Manufacturers

INDUSTRY & KNOWLEDGE

What is D.o.t Transmission Fittings?
D.O.T.  transmission fittings refer to components used in automotive hydraulic systems, particularly for transmissions, power steering, or braking systems, that must meet certain standards set by the U.S. Department of Transportation. These fittings are commonly used in vehicles for the safe and efficient transmission of fluids (like transmission fluid, brake fluid, or power steering fluid) through the hydraulic lines.

Key characteristics of D.O.T. transmission fittings include:
1. Standard Compliance: These fittings are designed to meet D.O.T. standards, ensuring safety and reliability. The D.O.T. certification ensures that these components meet certain mechanical and dimensional requirements for pressure, material strength, and compatibility with various fluids.
2. Material: D.O.T. transmission fittings are typically made from materials like brass, steel, or stainless steel, which are resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring a long lifespan under high-pressure conditions.
3. Usage: These fittings are commonly used in automotive, heavy-duty vehicles, and even racing applications. They are used for the connection and routing of fluid lines that carry transmission fluid, power steering fluid, or other hydraulic fluids between various parts of the vehicle's hydraulic system.
4. Design Features: D.O.T. transmission fittings may come in various shapes, sizes, and types, such as straight, elbow, or tee fittings, and are often equipped with O-rings or sealing materials to prevent leaks and ensure a tight seal.
