Key Features & Benefits

This pipe is specifically for air brake systems – it carries compressed air, not fuel like the name might suggest. It's a polyamide tube, so it’s a type of plastic, but it's a really tough, durable plastic designed for this purpose. It's got a diameter of 8 millimeters and a wall thickness of 1 millimeter, and this roll gives you 100 meters of it, which is a good amount for a full overhaul or a larger vehicle. Think of your air brake system like your lungs. This pipe is one of the airways – it's how the compressed air gets from the compressor and reservoir to the brake chambers at each wheel. It connects everything together. It’s used throughout the entire system, running from the compressor, to the control valves, and then ultimately to the brakes themselves.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s pretty crucial, honestly. If this pipe fails – cracks, gets brittle, gets damaged – you lose air pressure to your brakes. You’ll notice if you have a leak, usually as a hissing sound, or your brakes may feel spongy, or take longer to engage. Air brake systems rely on consistent pressure, so even a small leak can become a big problem. PA12 is a good material because it's resistant to a lot of things like oil, grease, and road salt. It's designed to hold up in harsh conditions. You can find this stuff at places like Fixparts Online, and it's definitely something you don't want to skimp on when it comes to safety. This acts like a shield for your entire braking system.
