PNP Vacuum Reservoir Kit

The reservoir is a necessary component when fitting vacuum brakes. The reserve of vacuum (if there is such a thing) makes it possible to create the differential between it and atmospheric pressure to apply a force on the diaphragm, thus applying the brakes.

The reservoir kit includes two prototypical-moulded ends, a length of plastic tubing and a sturdy purpose made strap and mounting clip. To assemble simply insert the moulded ends and glue with a suitable adhesive such as araldite.

This listing includes:-
1 x Length of Tube
1 x Bracket and Clip
2 x End Caps

Safe Use

PNP have provided a useful diagram of the operation of a vacuum braking system (click for link). It is the responsibility of the operator to follow the instructions provided to ensure the installation is safe. Always test braking systems in a controlled enviroment before running with passengers. Braking systems must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure effective operation. MRW accepts no liability for incorrect/poor installation and product failure - this is dealt by us on behalf of PNP.
