What does an exhaust flexible pipe do?

This flexible exhaust pipe serves as a critical component in the exhaust system of heavy commercial vehicles, absorbing engine vibrations and accommodating thermal expansion. By providing necessary flexibility, it prevents stress on the manifold and other rigid connections, ensuring long-term system integrity under high-temperature operating conditions.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This component is engineered to fit a wide range of heavy-duty applications, including Volvo models such as FH16, FH12, FM12, and FL12, as well as Renault Trucks Magnum. It is also compatible with Volvo VNL, VHD, and various B-series models like the B10M and B12. This part ensures precise fitment for engines including D12, D16C, and TD102.

Installation and maintenance

When performing installation or maintenance, technicians should verify the Ø 127 mm diameter and 170 mm length against the existing part to ensure a proper seal. Checking the mounting points and ensuring all connections are secure will prevent exhaust leaks in the system. Consult your authorized distributor for more information.
