Features heavy-duty brass 1/2″ NPT fittings, color-coded red/blue grips on tractor ends, and stainless steel spring guards on trailer ends to prevent kinking. Available in 12 Foot and 15 Foot lengths, both offered as a Standard Hose Set or a Complete Kit with Accessories (includes double tender spring tracker assembly, aluminum glad hands, extensions, seals, and thread seal tape). Shipped directly from our Wheeling, Illinois warehouse.

Product Overview

Keep your fleet running smoothly and fully compliant with DOT safety standards using our SAE J1402 Commercial Truck Rubber Air Line Set. Designed for harsh highway conditions, these heavy-duty 3/8″ ID rubber air brake lines deliver reliable air pressure from your tractor to your trailer’s emergency and service brake systems.

Unlike rigid plastic lines that crack in cold weather, our premium EPDM rubber formulation maintains exceptional flex down to -40°F. Each line features factory-swaged brass fittings with 1/2″ NPT male threads, heavy-duty stainless steel spring strain reliefs at stress points, and color-coded ergonomic grips for quick, mistake-free coupling. Choose between 12FT and 15FT lengths, with options for a standalone hose replacement or a full hookup kit complete with mounting hardware and glad hands.
