ABSTRACT:
Pressurized fluid is often times communicated from its source to the brakes associated with a remotely located axle by conduits that are exposed to the environment. In some instances, depending upon the vehicle and its usage, the conduits, especially around the axle housing, are subject to damage from debris over which the vehicle traverses. This is particularly a problem at a location where the conduits are connected to the respective brake assemblies. In the present invention, a fluid conduit assembly is provided that is positioned within the internal cavity defined by the axle housing. Further, a fluid connecting device utilized to communicate the pressurized fluid to the respective brake assemblies. The fluid connecting device is configured such that removal from outside the axle housing is precluded. This in turn protects the fluid conduit assembly that is connected to the fluid connecting device within the axle housing.
