Front Brake Pipe

The Thwaites Front Brake Pipe (OEM T104518) is a replacement hydraulic brake pipe designed for compatible Thwaites dumpers. It forms part of the machine's braking circuit, carrying hydraulic brake fluid between the relevant components and helping transmit braking pressure to the front brake assembly. Thwaites parts information lists dedicated front and rear brake pipes within its dumper brake circuits.

Manufactured for the demanding conditions of construction and site work, the brake pipe provides a secure route for hydraulic fluid while withstanding the vibration and movement associated with operating a dumper. Replacing a corroded, damaged or leaking pipe helps restore the integrity of the braking system and maintain reliable brake operation.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

• Carries hydraulic brake fluid within the dumper's braking circuit
• Transfers hydraulic pressure to the front brake assembly
• Provides a secure and protected route between brake-system components
• Helps maintain consistent braking performance
• Provides a replacement for a damaged, corroded or leaking original pipe

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Brake pipes are safety-critical components and should be inspected for corrosion, kinking, abrasion and signs of hydraulic fluid leakage. Any damaged pipe should be replaced before the machine is returned to service.

Always check the machine model and serial number before ordering to confirm compatibility, as Thwaites uses different brake pipe configurations across its dumper ranges and production periods.
