Designed for truck and trailer air brake systems, the Nylon Air Brake Tubing, Orange, 0.38 Inch OD, 0.06 Inch Wall Thickness, 500 Feet Per Pack is a Synflex Eclipse series product from Eaton Aeroquip, built to handle the demands of both primary and auxiliary air brake circuits. The orange color aids identification in multi-line harness assemblies, while the non-conductive nylon construction supports safe routing in mixed electrical environments.
Multi-braid construction with a polyester cover provides premium abrasion resistance, making this tubing well-suited for formed tube assemblies and straight or formed air brake harness applications on heavy-duty vehicles. Available in a 500-foot pack, it accommodates volume requirements for fleet maintenance or OEM assembly work. The -6 dash size corresponds to the 0.38-inch OD and is catalog-referenced as C1MJ46.
Got 500 feet of this on order for a fleet job, just want to confirm this is the orange tubing used in truck and trailer air brake setups, not just a general pneumatic line?

Orange is the correct color for air brake applications, and yes, this is purpose-built for truck and trailer air brake systems. It also works for auxiliary air systems and can be formed into straight or shaped harness assemblies. The 500-foot pack is a common choice for fleet shops doing multiple vehicles in a run.
