Connecting Tube, Front Brake Cylinder
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Connecting Tube, also known as the Brake Pipe, is a vital part of the braking system in commercial trucks. It connects the Front Brake Cylinder to the brake caliper, allowing hydraulic pressure to be transmitted and the brakes to be applied. The Connecting Tube is typically made of steel or copper and is designed to withstand high pressure and temperature fluctuations. It is an essential component of the braking system, ensuring that the brakes are responsive and reliable. The Front Brake Cylinder is responsible for converting the hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal into mechanical force that applies the brakes. It is a cylindrical component that houses the brake piston and seals. When the brake pedal is pressed, the Front Brake Cylinder piston is pushed forward, forcing brake fluid through the Connecting Tube and into the brake caliper. This causes the brake pads to clamp down on the rotor, slowing or stopping the vehicle. The Front Brake Cylinder is a critical part of the braking system, ensuring that the brakes are effective and safe.
