Features
With Parker Parflex Tubing Harnesses, your production line will
run faster, and be virtually free from tubing scrap.
Parker Parflex Tubing Harnesses combine all of the advantages
found in Parker Air Brake Tubing with those of the electrical har-
nesses used today in the transit bus and heavy-duty truck market.
They are designed and engineered to meet the exacting require-
ments of each bus or truck manufacturer for each vehicle.
Advantages
• Individual tubes are pre-cut and assembled into a single unit.
• Each tube can be color coded and/or numbered.
• Each harness may contain any number of tube sizes ranging
from 1/8" O. D. to 3/4" O. D.
• The harness can be supplied with special clamps, brackets, and
fittings to meet any need required by the customer.
• The air brake tubing used in a Parflex Harness conforms to SAE
J844 type 3A and 3B and also D.O.T. FMVSS 106.
Harness & Bundles
Harness & Bundles
Several different harnesses may be required on a single unit
depending upon the model of the vehicle, wheel base, and options
available. To determine your harness application needs:
1. Recognize the cost savings available to you through the use of
harnesses. How many dollars will be saved on tubing instal-
lation alone? On scrap reduction?
2. Call Parker. Have one of our application engineers study your
applications.
3. Have our engineer design and build a prototype harness for
your approval.
4. Approve the prototype as our basis to engineer your production
model harness.
5. Implement the harness into your Purchasing and Production
systems – one harness, one part number instead of multiple
part numbers you once had for each air brake line.
Benefit
Your production line, now using a Parker Parflex Harness, will
be neater – installation time and tube scrap will be kept to a
minimum. Accuracy and ease of installation will be improved
dramatically.
Join the many other truck and bus manufacturers who are already
taking advantage of the benefits offered by incorporating Parker
Parflex Tubing Harnesses into their systems.
