Air line hangers and air lines on 2020 Freightliner Cascadias

It sounds like the spring is not long enough. Poly lines are bad to break especially in the winter.
Switch to rubber lines.

 

I'm guessing you have straight, not coiled, airlines and your airlines are not long enough for you to u-turn. Get longer straight airlines or replace them with coiled airlines that can stretch, or stop doing u-turns.

 

Just have to spec out your airlines. I keep my fifth wheel on 3rd square closest to cab. Have lines wrapped with a black braiding wrap. 2 rappelling hooks on the slider bar. I can go into a uturn so sharp that tandems roll backwards. Nothing snags,nothing over stretches or pops off.Once you get it set up lines shouldnt be laying on the catwalk either.Keep in mind with a heavy load, turning Too tight can cause tandems to roll back and Snap a lug nut.

 

If doing a u-turn breaks your airlines, I'd find another option.

 

You need to invest in a quality 3 in 1 hose and light cord assy. Rubber is the only way to go.

You can buy the 15’ coiled lines. I keep new brass ferrules. They usually break at glad hand. Easy fix. .15cents for a compression ferrule. 10 minute job. I’ve had to fix my old lines a couple times. Saving up my pennies for solid rubber lines, with re usable ends. Same principle. Cut a little off the ends, if needed and re use.

 

If your air connections are on the left side of the front of the trailer, turn left to do u-turns, that way the air hoses do not have to reach as far.
