Wabco 8282510126 PA12 Brake Line Tubing 12x1.5mm 100m Roll

Description

This is a 100-meter roll of PA12 brake line tubing, designed for use in air brake systems. It's commonly found in commercial vehicles and trailers, ensuring reliable and safe air delivery throughout the braking network. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8282510126, this tubing features a 12.0 x 1.5 mm diameter and is constructed from PA11-PHL material. Its dimensions are 129 x 649 x 661 mm. This tubing provides excellent chemical resistance, flexibility, and durability, meeting OE specifications and operating according to DIN 74324 standards.

Key Features & Benefits

This tubing is specifically for air brake systems, mostly seen on larger vehicles – think trucks, buses, even some trailers. It's designed to carry compressed air, which is what actually does the braking in those systems, not hydraulic fluid like in a regular car. PA12 is the material – it’s a type of nylon – and it’s really good at holding up to the pressures and constant flexing that happens with air brakes. The 12x1.5mm just tells you the outer diameter and wall thickness – it’s important to get the right size to fit your connections properly. This roll gives you a good long length, 100 meters worth, so you’ve got plenty to work with for a full repair or overhaul. Basically, this is the pathway for the compressed air that activates the brakes. Think of it like the arteries in your body – it needs to be strong, reliable, and not leak. The air comes from the compressor, travels through this tubing to the brake chambers at each wheel, and that’s what pushes the brakes on. A complete air brake system has a lot of these lines running all over the vehicle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, brakes are pretty critical, right? If this tubing fails – if it cracks, gets worn, or develops a leak – you lose braking power. PA12 is a good material because it’s really durable, resists a lot of the stuff that can damage other types of tubing – things like oil, road salt, and temperature changes. It also has a good bend radius, so it won’t kink easily. You’ll notice if a line is failing because you might get a warning light in the cab, or you could even experience a noticeable loss of braking power. It’s definitely something you want to keep in good shape. You can find this PA12 tubing, and a lot of other air brake components, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking for a source. It’s best to replace lines proactively, especially if they show any signs of wear, to avoid bigger problems down the road.
