The nylon air brake tubing is engineered for truck and trailer air brake systems auxiliary air systems and both formed and straight air brake harness assemblies. With a 0.25-inch OD and a 0.04-inch wall thickness it offers superior abrasion resistance and is UV stabilized for enhanced longevity. Its 100% polyamide construction provides increased flexibility and improved flow performance compared to conventional rubber and nylon tubing solutions. The tubing excels in both thermoformability and burr-free cutting ensuring smooth assembly processes. Designed to meet stringent SAE J844 J1131 J2494-3 DOT-FMVSS 106 standards it operates effectively across a broad temperature range from -65deg;F to 200deg;F. This non-conductive black tubing features a minimum bend radius of 1 inch and includes ink jet lay line style identification.

For routing, the minimum bend radius on this tubing is 1 inch. Staying at or above that bend keeps it within its intended forming range and helps avoid kinks in tight runs.
