Wabco 8282511186 PA12 Pneumatic Tubing 18x2mm 25m DIN74324

Description

This is a 25-meter roll of PA12 pneumatic tubing, designed for use in air brake systems. Specifically, it functions as an air pipe or line, crucial for transmitting compressed air within the braking mechanism. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8282511186, this tubing adheres to DIN 74324 standards, ensuring compatibility and performance within commercial vehicle air systems. Its dimensions are 9999 x 18 x 18 mm, with an outer diameter of 18 mm and an inner diameter of 14 mm. Constructed from PA11-PHL material, this tubing provides a robust and reliable solution for air conveyance, offering excellent resistance to pressure and maintaining operational integrity according to DIN 74,324 specifications.

Key Features & Benefits

This tubing is designed to carry compressed air. It’s really simple in what it does—it's a pathway for air under pressure. The PA12 material itself is a type of nylon, and it’s pretty tough stuff. It’s flexible enough to run around the vehicle’s chassis, but strong enough to handle the pressures in an air brake system. It’s made to meet the DIN 74324 standard, which basically means it's been tested and proven to be reliable for this kind of application. This is a key part of your air brake system. Think of it like the veins and arteries of the brakes—it delivers the air pressure needed to activate the brakes on all your wheels. It connects the air compressor, the air dryer, the air reservoirs, and ultimately to the brake actuators at each wheel. It's not just at the wheels either, it connects various components like the load sensing valve and potentially the ABS module too. You’ll find it running all over the place under the vehicle and sometimes inside the chassis rails.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s hugely important. If this tubing fails—cracks, gets pinholed, or becomes brittle—you lose air pressure. That means reduced braking power, and potentially complete brake failure. You’ll notice if you have a leak because your air compressor will run more frequently to maintain pressure, or you might even see the low pressure warning light on your dash come on. Because it’s part of the safety – critical braking system, it's gotta be in good condition. It’s something you don’t want to mess around with. Fixparts Online carries a good selection of this tubing, along with all the fittings you’ll need to properly install it. Replacing it before it fails is a much better option than dealing with a braking issue on the road.
