Velvac Air Brake Compressor Discharge Hose Connector
Velvac Air Brake Compressor Discharge Hose Connectors
When it comes to the air brake systems that keep heavy-duty trucks, RVs, buses, and commercial vehicles safely on the road, the integrity of every connection matters. Velvac has been engineering precision air brake components since 1934, and their air brake compressor discharge hose connectors reflect decades of refinement in a category where failure simply isn't an option.
A Legacy Built on Air Brake Expertise
Velvac traces its roots directly to air brake manufacturing. The Vacuum Power Equipment Company opened its doors for business in 1934, beginning a long tradition of manufacturing air brake and valve components for heavy trucks. That foundational focus means air brake hose and connector technology isn't a sideline for Velvac — it's in the company's DNA. From gladhands to slack adjusters and valves, Velvac is a full system provider for critical air components, with an extensive line designed and manufactured in TS-certified facilities to exceed government and industry specifications.
What Sets Velvac Discharge Hose Connectors Apart
Compressor discharge hose connectors serve as the critical link between the air compressor and the rest of the braking circuit, routing compressed air at elevated temperatures and pressures from the compressor outlet. Velvac's connectors are engineered specifically for this demanding environment. Their braided discharge hose assemblies feature female swivel connectors on both ends and withstand extreme temperatures of -100° to +450°F. This wide thermal tolerance is essential for the heat generated at the compressor discharge port, particularly during extended operation or in hot climates.
Velvac's hose and reusable fittings can be assembled to produce complete air compressor discharge hose assemblies , giving fleet mechanics and upfitters the flexibility to build custom-length runs where needed. For applications requiring a ready-to-install solution, Velvac also offers pre-assembled options. Assembled units feature female swivel ends on both sides, with a 5/8" outer diameter and 1/2" inner diameter, available in a range of lengths to suit different chassis configurations.
OEM-Grade Quality for Aftermarket Confidence
Velvac's position as a preferred Tier-1 OEM product manufacturer allows it to offer customers both proprietary products and a competitive, broad line of industry-standard products. The company is a TS 16949 and ISO 14001 certified multinational company , which means quality management and environmental standards are embedded at every stage of production. For fleet operators, this translates to components that meet or exceed the specifications of original equipment — a critical consideration when air brake reliability directly impacts vehicle safety and regulatory compliance.
Whether you're replacing a worn discharge connector on a Class 8 tractor, a refuse truck, or a specialty commercial vehicle, Velvac's offerings in this category deliver the thermal resilience, dimensional precision, and connection security that heavy-duty air brake systems demand.
