This high-quality tubing colored black features an outer diameter of 0.50 inches and a wall thickness of 0.06 inches ensuring optimal performance in demanding truck and trailer air brake systems. Constructed with 100% polyamide and reinforced with synthetic fiber and polyester yarn it delivers superior abrasion resistance and enhanced flexibility compared to traditional materials.
This tubing meets the performance standards of SAE J844 J1131 J2494-3 DOT-FMVSS 106 making it a reliable choice for critical air brake applications. The non-conductive material ensures safety while the multi-braid construction and premium abrasion resistance extend its lifecycle.
With an impulse cycle life of 125000 cycles and a minimum bend radius of 2 inches it offers reliable performance even in low-temperature conditions down to -65deg;F and high-temperature environments up to 200deg;F. It is designed for easy burr-free cutting and forming making assembly straightforward and efficient.
trying to replace some old air brake line, is this the -8 size with a half inch outside diameter?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 11, 2025, 4:14 PM
This tubing is dash size -8 with a 0.50 inch OD and a 0.38 inch ID. Wall thickness is 0.06 inch, so those numbers should line up with other -8 air brake tubing that’s sized by a 1/2 inch outside diameter.

tubing rated for cold weather use? got rigs running in some pretty harsh winters and need to know it'll hold up without getting brittle on me
Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 26, 2025, 8:33 AM
Cold weather performance is solid with this tubing. The operating range bottoms out at -65 degrees F, so even in prolonged freezing conditions it stays flexible and functional. That low-temperature rating is one of the reasons it gets used in truck and trailer air brake systems where reliability in winter months isn't optional.
