Tired of tangled airline? Working in severe weather damaging your equipment?
SOLUTION
MAGNUMFLEX-HD™ Aircoils – Tectran is the only manufacturer to offer a true Dual-Line solution to the problem of tangled Aircoils. The MAGNUMFLEX-HD™ Dual-Line Aircoil includes the same protective armor as the ARMORCOIL but the lines are actually bonded together into a compact single unit. This approach improves the coil memory allowing the coil diameter to be increased to accommodate the coiled electrical cable inside!
MAGNUMFLEX-HD™ coils are the star of our “COLD-Flex” Aircoil series. Tectran MAGNUM Aircoils are made with armored tubing, comprised of an extra layer of protective polyurethane around standard air brake tubing. This layer increases the wall thickness of the tubing providing superior kink resistance, advanced coil memory, and ware resistance. Flexible in temperatures to -85 °F
PROBLEM
Are your gladhands rusty? When is the last time you replaced the seals? Rusted or loose gladhand clamps will lead to poor clamping force and air leaks.
SOLUTION
Anodized Gladhands – Tectran’s top-of-the-line gladhands! Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride used in today’s road salts are extremely corrosive, accelerating corrosion in parts used in traditional gladhands. We encourage you to try our corrosion resistant Anodized Gladhands and to inspect the components in your air brake and electrical systems regularly for evidence of corrosion-related wear…Stay Safe!
