Introduction:
Toyota and other Asian auto makers use an M10x1.0 inverted flare hydraulic line fitting. European auto makers will use an M10x1.0 bubble flare. Our male fittings will work with either type of flare. The female fittings are avaibable in both style flares.
Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to find fittings and specifically plugs. Brake line plugs can be very handy things to have when working on your vehicle, for emergency trail repairs and for projects such as eliminating the Load Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV-BV) . In the latter conversion, you need to plug the tee fitting up front where the LSPV front brake sensing line would normally attach.

Pictured above are the two versions of the brake line plugs, the male plug can screw into female threaded fittings such as on the tee fitting for the LSPV bypass project. The female plug on the right will fit over male threaded fittings such as used on the brake hard lines. The fittings also can be used as adapters to attach AN hose/tubing fittings (AN-3 size) to Toyota brakes or to adapt to SAE fittings. Contact us for specifics as we can supply fittings, braided hose and adapters for most common sizes.

Installation Process:
Installation just involves screwing the plug onto the mating fitting. You can use some anti-seize compound on the threads if you wish to make later removal easier. These fittings are made of stainless steel and the threads are prone to galling if assembled dry.
For the LSPV (proportioning valve) bypass/removal project, simply disconnect the front to rear sensing line and use a male plug in the tee fitting up front. You can just leave the old line in place (capped or uncapped) or remove it if so inclined. In back, you can usually disconnect the main brake line from the master cylinder and bend that back to attach to the bracket where the rear axle brake hose connects. Then you can unbolt and remove the LSPV if desired.
