Product Information
Full details
This guide is for mechanics and automotive technicians working with AdBlue systems. The key benefit is the secure and easy connection of AdBlue lines, preventing leaks and ensuring system integrity, with the caveat that these are specifically for AdBlue and not standard fuel. These 90° angled connectors simplify routing in tight spaces for 6mm nylon pipe and 7.5mm ID rubber hose, featuring durable nylon construction and an EPDM O-ring seal.

FAQs
Are these connectors suitable for standard diesel fuel lines?
No, these connectors are specifically designed for AdBlue (DEF) systems and feature a red identification tab. Using them on standard diesel fuel lines is not recommended and can lead to system contamination or failure. Standard fuel lines typically use grey identification tabs.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
These connectors can handle a constant running pressure of 7 bar (101psi) and a maximum pressure of 9 bar (130psi).
What type of pipe and hose can be used with these connectors?
They are designed for 6mm nylon pipe and 7.5mm internal diameter (ID) rubber hose.
What is the material of the connector body and seal?
The connector body is made from durable nylon PA12, and the O-ring seal is made from EPDM, which is resistant to AdBlue and a wide temperature range.
What does the red tab signify?
The red tab is a visual indicator specifically for AdBlue systems, helping to differentiate them from standard fuel connectors (which typically have grey tabs) and prevent accidental mix-ups.
Can these connectors be used in extreme temperatures?
Yes, they are designed to operate reliably within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.
Are straight connectors also available?
Yes, mixed sets of straight and angled connectors are available under Connect Part No. 34226, and assorted boxes of angled connectors are available under Part No. 34228.
Troubleshooting
Connector leaks after installation
Ensure the pipe/hose is fully inserted and the locking mechanism has engaged. Check the EPDM O-ring for damage or debris and clean/replace if necessary. Verify correct pipe/hose size compatibility.
Difficulty connecting or disconnecting
Ensure the pipe/hose end is clean and not deformed. For disconnection, ensure the red tab is fully depressed before pulling. Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism or on the pipe/hose end.
Connector does not lock securely
Inspect the locking tabs on the connector and the receiving port for damage or debris. Ensure the pipe/hose is inserted to the correct depth.
