Is this hose suitable for air brake systems?
While designed for HGV applications, it's primarily for tire inflation and auxiliary air systems. Always ensure any hose used in critical systems like air brakes meets the specific safety standards and pressure ratings required for those applications.
Troubleshooting
Air leak at M16 connector
Ensure the connector is properly tightened. Check for damaged threads on both the hose connector and the air tank port. If damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Hose feels stiff in cold weather
While rated for -30ºC, extreme cold can temporarily reduce flexibility. Allow the hose to warm up slightly before attempting to manipulate it. Avoid sharp bends in very cold conditions.
Tyre valve connection is loose
Check the valve stem for damage or debris. Ensure the hose's valve fitting is securely attached. If the fitting itself is damaged, the hose may need replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Robust construction suitable for demanding HGV use.
Wide operating temperature range ensures reliability in various climates.
Includes both air tank and tyre valve connectors for immediate use.
Durable SBR material offers good resistance to wear and tear.
Cons
The 5-meter length may be insufficient for some larger HGV configurations.
M16 connector is specific; compatibility with non-standard tanks needs verification.
SBR material may degrade with prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or UV light.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the M16 air tank connector threads are clean and free of debris.
Screw the M16 connector firmly onto the HGV's air tank port. Hand-tighten is usually sufficient, but consult your vehicle's manual if specific torque values are recommended.
Connect the tyre valve end to the relevant inflation point.
Compatibility:
Air Tank Connector: Primarily compatible with HGV air tanks featuring an M16 threaded port. Verify your vehicle's air tank specifications before purchase.
Tyre Valve: Standard Schrader valve connection, compatible with most HGV tyre valves.
Care:
Regularly inspect the hose for signs of wear, cracking, or damage, especially near the connectors.
Clean the hose with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the SBR material.
Store the hose away from direct sunlight and extreme heat when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
