Question by: Denise M on May 16, 2025, 9:20 PM

What size brake line does this tube nut work with, and is it metric thread?

Answer by: Customer Support on May 18, 2025, 9:51 AM

M12x1 is the thread spec on this one, and it pairs with 1/4-inch brake tubing. That combination is pretty standard across a good chunk of automotive and light commercial brake line setups, so if your system runs metric fittings in that size range, it should mate up right with a female-threaded port or fitting on the receiving end.

got a 1/4 brake line im putting together, is this the nut with the M12x1 male threads?

Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 16, 2025, 3:05 PM

For a 1/4 inch brake tube setup, this tube nut matches that tube size and uses an M12x1 male thread, so it’s meant to screw into a matching female M12x1 port or fitting in a hydraulic brake line connection.

So this is for brake lines... what size wrench do you figure I'll need to tighten it down?

Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 9, 2025, 5:15 PM

This tube nut is designed for use with M12x1 male threads, common in many automotive and light commercial hydraulic brake systems. You'll want to match your wrench size to that M12x1 dimension for proper tightening.
