Description

This 25M PA12 Fuel Line Pipe, manufactured by Wabco under MPN 8282521166, is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for use in air pipes and lines. This pipe features a 16x2 mm tube diameter and dimensions of 9999 x 16 x 16 mm. Constructed from PA11-HIPHL, this fuel line pipe offers exceptional durability and resistance to wear, ensuring reliable performance and longevity within the braking system. It is manufactured to OE specification and operates according to DIN 74324 standards, delivering consistent and dependable operation.

Key Features & Benefits

This line primarily carries compressed air throughout your braking system. It’s designed to handle that pressure reliably and safely. It’s not just any plastic tubing, it's specifically made from PA12 which is a really tough nylon. It’s rated to the DIN 74324 standard, meaning it’s been tested and meets European safety regulations for air brake lines. It comes as a 25 meter roll, so it's pretty generous in length – usually enough for a full system overhaul or a good chunk of repairs. The 16x2 designation simply means the inner diameter is 16 millimeters and the wall thickness is 2 millimeters – those dimensions are crucial for maintaining correct air pressure. Think of it like the arteries and veins in your body – it delivers the “lifeblood” – compressed air – to the brakes at each wheel. The air pressure builds up and when you hit the brake pedal, that pressure is released to activate the braking mechanism. This particular line is used in a lot of commercial vehicles – trucks, buses, trailers – anything with an air brake system. It connects the compressor, the air reservoir, the control valves, and ultimately, the brake actuators at the wheels.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this line fails, your brakes can fail. It’s as simple as that. PA12 is pretty durable and resistant to things like fuel, oil, and temperature swings, but over time, it can become brittle, crack, or become porous. You’ll notice if there’s a leak – you’ll probably hear hissing, and your air pressure gauge will drop. More subtly, even small cracks can cause gradual pressure loss, reducing braking effectiveness. Replacing it proactively is a lot smarter than waiting for a complete failure. You can find this PA12 line and other air brake components at places like Fixparts Online. It’s a safety item, so using quality parts is always the best bet.
