Key Features & Benefits

This tubing is really the pathways for the compressed air that actually does the braking in an air brake system. It carries that air from the compressor, the reservoir, and all the way to the brake chambers at each wheel. It’s got to be able to handle a good amount of pressure, consistently. It’s not just about delivering air; it needs to maintain that pressure without leaks. Think of it as the veins and arteries of your braking system. Everything relies on this tubing to function. It connects the compressor – which makes the air – to the parts that actually squeeze the brakes. It runs all over the place underneath the vehicle, connecting various components. On a tractor – trailer, you’ll have quite a bit of it running along the frame rails.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a safety item, plain and simple. If this tubing cracks, gets pinholes, or deteriorates, you lose air pressure. You’ll notice if you start losing air pressure because your gauges will drop, and you’ll likely get a warning light or buzzer. Losing air pressure means losing braking power. It acts like a shield, keeping the pressurized air contained so you can safely stop. It's important to inspect it regularly for wear, and replace it proactively.
