Description
Overview:
The male brake nut is a precision-machined metal fitting used to secure 3/16 inch (4.76mm) rigid brake pipe into brake components. It features an M12 x 1.0mm male thread and is designed to create a dependable, pressure-tight seal when used with a correctly flared pipe end. Suitable for automotive, trailer, agricultural, and plant machinery brake systems, it helps connect brake lines to parts such as master cylinders, callipers, wheel cylinders, and junction blocks. Its compact hex-body makes it practical in tight spaces commonly found on construction equipment and garden machinery with hydraulic braking. Sold individually for straightforward replacements or small repairs. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 305 143.
