I am going to be adding trailer air brakes to my straight (specialty dump) truck.
I have a couple questions about the systems.
So far I know I need a MV3 Valve Assembly, a tractor protection valve -TP3, the glad hands and air lines.
Behind the dash I have a manifold with multiple outputs with green lines. The tractor brake valve is a very old and basic 2 line unit Bendex 284726.
1 thing for sure I can't confirm in the rules is if there is a requirement for a manual trailer brake actuator handle.
2 Are there specific requirements for the colors on the air lines or can I use black?
3 What am I missing?
Any advise would be appreciated greatly.
