Wabco 8282520016 Blue Fuel Hose 12mm x 1.5m

Description

This is a blue fuel hose, specifically designed for air brake systems. It’s used within the air pipes and lines to safely and effectively transfer air within the braking mechanism of vehicles. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 8282520016, this hose adheres to OE specifications ensuring reliability and performance. Its dimensions are 760 x 375 x 760 mm, providing ample length and flexibility for installation. This hose is designed to withstand the pressures and temperatures inherent in air brake systems, contributing to consistent and safe braking performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This hose is specifically designed to carry compressed air in your vehicle’s air brake system. It’s built to handle the high pressures needed for those brakes to work safely and reliably. It’s not your standard garden hose, it’s a reinforced, durable line made to withstand constant flexing and the kind of conditions you find under a vehicle. Think of it as part of the circulatory system for your air brakes. The air compressor builds up pressure, and this hose is one of the pathways that pressure takes to get to the brake chambers at the wheels. It connects the compressor, the air dryer, the reservoir, and ultimately, those brakes. A typical system will have several lengths of this hose running throughout the vehicle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, obviously brakes are pretty important, right? This hose needs to be in good shape because if it cracks, gets brittle, or develops a leak, you’re losing air pressure. That means reduced braking power, and that’s a serious safety concern. You’ll notice if you have a leak – probably a hissing sound, and potentially a drop in your air pressure gauge. These hoses do degrade over time from heat, road salt, and just general wear and tear, so it’s good preventative maintenance to replace them periodically. You can find a lot of different options for these, and Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection if you're looking for a reliable source. It acts like a shield, protecting the entire brake system from potential failures caused by air leaks.
