Constructed from extruded Nylon 12 with yarn reinforcement, the Danfoss / Eaton Airbrake Tubing 5/32 OD B is designed for air brake circuit applications in commercial vehicles and heavy-duty transportation equipment. The Nylon 12 tube material offers reliable flexibility and chemical resistance, while the UV-stabilized cover provides durability in exposed environments.
Rated for use down to -40°F and featuring a minimum bend radius of 0.5 inches, this blue-coded tubing is built to perform in demanding under-vehicle conditions. Premium abrasion resistance adds to its serviceability in routed installations subject to contact wear. The tubing meets DOT FMVSS 106 compliance requirements and carries certifications to SAE J1131, SAE J844, SAE J2494-2, and SAE J2494-3, making it suitable for regulated air brake system use. Marketed under the Aeroquip brand, this is a dash -2 size product with a 5/32-inch OD.
If I'm running air brakes on a semi, is this tubing gonna hold up under the truck? Seems like it'd take a beating down there.

For under-vehicle routing, this tubing's got premium abrasion resistance, so it should handle contact wear pretty well. Plus, the UV-stabilized cover adds some extra durability if it's exposed to the sun.
