Fat Brian Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Is there any standard for what color the air hoses to the trailer should be? I have black, white, red, and green wire so I have some options there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timc Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) I work at Utility Trailer Mfg. The above info is correct. Here is some helpful info too. Standard airline size is 3/8 od, some companies order 1/2 inch airlines. 5/8 airlines are either black or a lime green color. ABS harness are orange from where they drop out of the raceway to the rear sub assembly.( rear axles).Brake cans or actuators are black with silver or gold 1/2 caps. Ours are never painted, DOT regulations on that part.On our trailers the electric and airlines run down the center on reefers and down the roadside on dry vans.Roadside = drivers side or left sideCurbside = passenger side or right sideIt was confusing at first but after a while it is not left or right it is road and curb. I catch myself doing alot especially when people look at you like what the heck did you say. My wife is used to it now after 19 years with Utility.
