Some of us with B-Models are useing the 24/24 cannisters because of clearance and mounting bracket issues. Make sure you measure and take your brake cans with you incase one of the Parts Men has questions. I hope this helps! mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13855-plumbing-for-spring-brakes/#findComment-54922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The simplest is:Air tank to park brake valve to quick release valve to outer can on spring brakes.The Bendix place is by far THE place to go!I've down loaded it and have it in a ring binder for quick referance!!GOOD stuff!!!Packer Quote Keep a clutchin' Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13855-plumbing-for-spring-brakes/#findComment-54955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
