Constructed to OE specification, this PA12 tubing offers exceptional durability, resistance to wear, and consistent performance, ensuring reliable operation and contributing to the overall safety of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This tubing is basically for carrying compressed air in your vehicle’s air brake system. It’s a really strong, flexible polyamide—PA12 is the material—and it’s designed to hold up to the pressures needed for those brakes to work right. It’s not just about holding air though; it needs to resist cracking, wear, and even absorbing moisture. The 10x1.5mm refers to the outer diameter and wall thickness, so it’s a specific size for compatibility with standard air fittings. And the 100 – meter roll gives you plenty to work with for a complete system overhaul or a good length for repairs. Think of it as the arteries in your air brake system. The compressor creates the air pressure, and this tubing is what delivers that pressure to the brake actuators at each wheel. It’s connected to the compressor, the air dryer, the brake chambers, and other components. It's a closed system, so any leaks can really affect performance. You’ll find it running along the frame rails and under the vehicle—pretty much anywhere the air needs to travel.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This stuff is critical for safety. Air brakes rely on consistent, leak – free air pressure to stop the vehicle. This tubing acts like a shield against pressure loss, keeping everything working as it should. If this tubing cracks, gets damaged, or deteriorates, you’ll notice if your brakes feel spongy, the air compressor runs more often, or you have trouble getting a solid brake application. It’s a wear item, just like tires or brake pads, and it will eventually need replacing. You can find this PA12 tubing at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s definitely something you want to keep in good condition for reliable braking.
