3M 7000118705 Bushing Assembly Air Fitting

Product Description

The 3M 7000118705 is a steel bushing assembly designed to accept the air fitting on pneumatic orbital and random orbital sanders. The bushing threads directly into the sander body, providing a secure, threaded seat for the air inlet fitting. Constructed from steel for durability under repeated connection and disconnection cycles, this part serves as a critical junction between the air supply line and the sander tool. It is typically replaced by an HVAC or industrial equipment technician or tool repair technician when threads are stripped or when the bushing is damaged during service.

This bushing assembly is used on pneumatic random orbital sanders and orbital sanders across the 3M sander product line. It is suited for production finishing environments, body shops, fabrication shops, and maintenance operations where pneumatic sanders see regular use. The part is sold individually, making it practical for single-tool repair without the need to purchase a full hardware kit.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the air supply line and depressurize the tool completely before removing the existing bushing. A qualified tool repair technician should perform this replacement using appropriate thread sealant on the fitting threads as required. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the sander housing threads. Verify air fitting compatibility before reassembling the air line connection.
