Au-ve-co Products BD440 Nylon Vacuum Splicer

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS BD440 is a nylon vacuum splicer fitting designed to join two sections of 1/8-inch vacuum line in automotive and light-duty service applications. Constructed from nylon for resistance to fuel vapors, heat, and under-hood conditions, this splicer provides a secure, leak-resistant connection without tools beyond basic hand pressure. The BD440 is a small-format straight connector suited for technicians repairing or routing vacuum hose runs during engine, emissions, or HVAC-related service work. Its compact size and lightweight construction - at 0.01 pounds - make it easy to stock in quantity for high-volume shop use.

This fitting is used in automotive service environments where vacuum hose lines must be extended, repaired, or spliced inline. Typical applications include engine vacuum circuits, brake booster lines, EGR system tubing, and cabin climate control vacuum networks. The 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch sizing suits common small-bore vacuum hose found throughout domestic and import vehicle platforms. It is installed by general automotive technicians and HVAC service techs working on vehicle climate systems.

Installation Notes

Installed by automotive technicians during vacuum system repair or hose routing service. Before installing, relieve all vacuum from the affected circuit and confirm the engine is off and cooled sufficiently for safe under-hood access. Ensure hose ends are cut cleanly and seated fully over both barbs for a secure, leak-free connection. Verify vacuum circuit integrity after installation using a hand-operated vacuum pump or appropriate diagnostic tool.
