Key Features & Benefits

This hose is specifically designed to carry compressed air in air brake systems. It's not for fuel, despite the name, it's just a traditional naming thing. It reliably delivers that air pressure from the compressor to all the components that need it—the air dryer, the reservoir, and ultimately, to the brake chambers at each wheel. It's built to handle consistent pressure and frequent flexing, because things move around under the hood or chassis. Think of it as a vital artery in your braking system. It’s the line that carries the “lifeblood” – the compressed air – to everything that makes your brakes work. It connects the compressor, the regulator, storage tanks, and then on to the actual brakes themselves. It's typically found running along the chassis rails and underneath the vehicle, so it needs to be tough.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This hose is crucial for safety, plain and simple. If it cracks, gets brittle, or leaks, you lose air pressure and your brakes may not engage properly—or at all. It acts like a shield, protecting the entire system from air loss. You’ll notice if there's a problem pretty quickly usually – a hissing sound, a drop in your air gauge, or the brakes feeling spongy. It’s a wear item, so it will eventually need replacing due to age and exposure to the elements. We have a lot of customers getting this hose from Fixparts Online because of the length of the roll, it gives them plenty to work with. But really, any reputable parts supplier will do. Just make sure it's rated for air brake systems, and the right size.
