Description

Overview

The 8mm European Lock Air Brake Olive forms the compression seal between compatible 8mm outside-diameter air line and a European Lock fitting. Tightening the matching compression nut deforms the olive around the tube, helping secure the line and seal the connection.

Features

• Matches 8mm outside-diameter air line
• European Lock compression fitting profile
• Brass construction for controlled compression
• Replacement sealing component for compatible fittings

Specifications and Materials

Product type: compression olive.

Tube size: 8mm outside diameter.

Fitting system: European Lock.

Material: brass.

This item contains the olive only. The fitting body, compression nut and any required tube insert are separate components.

Part number: AB0201.

See the ISO fluid power terminology standard

Compatibility and Fitment

Match this olive to an 8mm European Lock fitting assembly and tube measured by outside diameter. The main ordering risk is selecting an olive solely by its 8mm bore, as different compression fitting systems can use different olive shapes, seating angles and nut arrangements.

Compare the replacement with the original olive and confirm the fitting body, nut and tube insert belong to the same connection system. Cut the tube square, remove damaged material and push the tube fully into the fitting before tightening the nut.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the air circuit before disturbing the connection. Do not refit an olive that is cracked, heavily marked or distorted from a previous installation. Tighten the assembly to the fitting manufacturer’s requirements, then restore pressure gradually and check the joint for leakage and tube movement.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use this 8mm olive when repairing compatible European-style compression connections in trailer air lines, auxiliary pneumatic circuits, air suspension plumbing and control systems. The surrounding tube and fitting assembly must suit the operating pressure and service conditions of the complete system.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

Compression olives can look similar while using different profiles. Send a clear photo of the dismantled fitting and confirm the tube outside diameter if you need help identifying the connection.
