MAN 81963406147 Pressure Air Line

Description

The MAN 81963406147 pressure air line is a critical component within heavy vehicle air brake systems. It's designed to reliably deliver compressed air throughout the braking network, ensuring consistent and responsive braking performance. This air line is used in commercial vehicles to connect the air compressor, reservoirs, and brake actuators. Its robust construction and precise dimensions of 60 x 250 x 310 mm contribute to a leak-free and durable air delivery system, maximizing safety and minimizing downtime for fleet operations.

Key Features & Benefits

This line basically delivers compressed air throughout your air brake system. It’s a pretty simple part, really. It connects the air compressor to all the components that actually do the braking – the air tanks, the brake chambers on the wheels, things like that. It’s just a pathway for that pressurized air to get where it needs to go. Think of it as a vital artery in your braking system. The compressor is the heart, pumping out air pressure, and this line is one of the main routes that pressure takes to activate your brakes. It’s usually a rubber hose, sometimes with metal fittings on the ends. It carries air at significant pressure, so it needs to be robust. You’ll typically find these running along the frame rails or underneath the vehicle, connecting various components.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a safety item, plain and simple. If this line develops a leak, or cracks, or gets damaged in any way, it can cause a loss of air pressure. That means reduced braking power, or even complete brake failure. You’ll notice if you have a leak, usually as a hissing sound, and your air pressure gauge may drop over time. Because it’s so critical, you want to keep it in good shape. Regularly inspecting it for cracks, wear, and leaks is a good idea. If it’s showing its age, it’s best to replace it rather than risk a problem. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online carry a lot of these. Don't mess around with air brake lines; it’s not worth the risk.
