Rub-through damage, pinhole leaks, and cross-threaded joints are no problem for the new Line Splice from AirSept. Now you can repair damaged lines without removing the entire line.


With AirSept’s new Line Splice technicians can repair the damaged section of the line, offer the customer a lower cost, and make as much if not more profit as selling a new line. The shop saves the line cost, avoids the labor time of complete line R&R, and gets the repair done quickly.

The Line Splice works on steel or aluminum lines, including a/c, transmission, heater and power steering lines.

A new sealing sleeve is made of dynamic HNBR material that resists automotive fluids. The sleeve is up to 8 times wider than a standard o-ring. It seals against irregular tubing surfaces, helping to prevent leak “travel” that can defeat narrow o-ring seals.


The wider sleeve also helps resist the vibration that creates leaks. A slotted tension ring coupled with a tapered nut guarantees a tight grip on the tubing.

AirSept’s new Line Splice works with a standard open-end wrench, so no costly crimping tools are required. It fits 5/16”, 3/8”, 1/2” and 5/8” tubing sizes.

AirSept’s Line Splice can connect two lines of different ID. It is excellent for vehicles with a smaller line connecting a rear evaporator to the a/c system. The small footprint (under 2.5”) fits in tight spaces under the hood.

AirSept is a Tier 1 or Tier 2 supplier to 14 OEMs. Visit our website at www.airsept.com or call AirSept at (800) 999-1051 or (678) 987-0500 for more information.
