Air line splice ?

[Schiada]

Working on a project. Some one cut two 3/8" air control lines to a parking brake system. Is it legal to use a "DOT" splice on the lines ? The lines are 25' long and will be a pain to swap out.

Thanks, Randy

You mean a DOT compliant splice? IF that is what you mean the yes, it would be legal. The main thing is.... Does it leak?

Thanks, and yes a DOT splice. Is leaking a problem with a new splice ?

Shouldn't be if it was installed properly. Even if the splice was 'illegal' your chances of ever getting in trouble for it are probably about zero........
