New York Air Brake supplies a wide selection of standard and custom AAR M-601 and AAR M-618 air hoses, couplings, and fittings that are AAR M-1003 certified for demanding railroad service. Innovations in air brake hose design, material selection, and manufacturing processes result in superior performance in airflow, leak resistance, abrasion resistance, and ease of application.

M-601 End-of-Car Hose Assemblies
NYAB M-601 end-of-car air brake hose assemblies, the finest available, are manufactured in the United States at our Premtec plant in Salisbury, North Carolina. Premtec hose, patented HI-FLO^© fittings and Cold Loc™ Wide Lip Gaskets exceed all AAR specifications and deliver more durability and higher performance than any other end-of-car hose assembly in the world. Their superior performance means fewer hose separations and lower life-cycle costs.

M-601 end-of-car air brake hose assemblies, built to exceed a service life of eight years, combine our proprietary compounds, reinforcement materials, and design with Premtec’s manufacturing process to produce a cold weather hose that remains flexible in the coldest temperatures (-55° to 176°F).

M-601 hose assemblies, available in 22”, 33” and custom lengths, are proven to be the best performing and are deployed on more cars than any other brand. NYAB hoses are constructed and assembled in the USA.

M-618 Specialty Hose Assemblies
M-618 specialty hoses, fittings, hose hangers and other components, along with expert NYAB assistance, deliver improved airflow, more reliable connections and longer hose life. Specialty hose assemblies are available for all car and locomotive applications.

Steel and textile reinforced M-618 hoses, backed by an 8-year workmanship warranty, are built for durability using Circle Line crimping technology for superior performance in high-vibration environments and extreme temperatures (-50° to 212°F).

Our hose manufacturing process provides superior adhesion between the 4-wire reinforcement and compound layers, resisting voids and premature hose separations.
