Case study
Requirement
A truck cab is a command center for
multiple operations, many safety-critical.
One manufacturer mounted individual
valves in the dashboard for each air-driven
accessory – lift axle, air horn, suspension
dump and more. Long lengths of tubing
were routed from the dashboard through
the cab firewall to the chassis. Besides
consuming precious under-dash space, air
leaks were hard to service, and labor and
materials for routing airlines throughout
the truck were expensive. The truck
manufacturer needed a reliable system
with less tubing and leak potential that was
simple to install and adaptable to various
chassis configurations.
Solution
IMI Precision Engineering integrated heavy-
duty truck valves into a flexible stack that
can be mounted on the chassis near the
applications they power instead of under
the dash. This Air Solenoid Accessory
Pack (ASAP) is connected via the standard
electrical harness to small electric switches
mounted on the dashboard. This integrated
system reduces tubing and eliminates under-
dash leaks and the valve sequence can
be configured to fit any truck's accessory
options. Push-in fittings colored to match
accessory tubing simplifies installation.
Most important, better visibility and a more
spacious, comfortable cab improves driver
safety.
Compact valve module frees valuable
under-dash space in truck cabs
