WABCO Holdings Inc. has introduced colored brake tubes for original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket applications for air brake and air suspension systems in commercial vehicles. Available for truck, bus and trailer applications, the new brake tubes incorporate a thin color-coded strip that distinguishes air brake tubes from those for air suspension. In addition to significantly faster installation, this innovation helps customers avoid false tubing, resulting in time and cost savings, the manufacturer said.
Available in standard dimensions, these new colored brake tubes feature “reservoir red” or “brake yellow” strips. Additional colors are available on demand. Although color-coded, WABCO’s new tubes are predominantly black, in compliance with the internationally accepted tubing standard (DIN 74324) for air brake systems in commercial vehicles, the company noted.
