Wabco 4527110580 Coiled Tube

Description

This Coiled Tube, manufactured by Wabco under MPN 4527110580, is a vital component within air brake systems. Specifically, it functions as an air pipe or line, facilitating the delivery of compressed air to operate the brakes in commercial vehicles. This tube is constructed from TCP-ET material and is designed to meet OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 116 x 134 x 556 mm, with an inner diameter of 9mm and an outer diameter of 12mm, and it operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, up to a maximum operating pressure of 10.0 bar. The threaded connection is M22 x 1.5, and the tube is supplied with fittings for ease of installation.

Key Features & Benefits

These tubes basically deliver compressed air throughout your braking system. They’re flexible, so they can handle the movement of the vehicle without cracking or breaking, unlike rigid metal lines. They connect things like the air compressor to the reservoirs, and from there to the brake chambers on each wheel. They handle the air that actually applies your brakes, so it’s pretty critical stuff. Think of it as the veins and arteries of your air brake system. Rigid lines get you from point A to point B generally, but anywhere you need some give, that’s where these coiled tubes come in. They’re used in spots where things are moving relative to each other – axles, steering components, that sort of thing. They act like a shield against vibration and flexing, preventing leaks and failures in those areas. You'll find them connecting the suspension to the frame, or at the wheel ends, for instance.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If one of these tubes fails, you'll notice if you're lucky. You might hear an air leak – a hissing sound. More seriously, it can lead to reduced braking performance on one or more wheels. That's obviously a safety issue, and something you want to address immediately. A completely failed tube means that brake chamber isn’t getting the air it needs, and that wheel won’t stop effectively. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s always best to replace these when you find a problem rather than trying to patch them. A small leak can become a big one surprisingly quickly.
