Wagner brake cables are internally lubricated and tightly sealed to resist the seizing and breaking that often occur on problem applications.
We build the outer conduit using a rigid coil wire covered with a polyvinyl coating that resists abrasion and oil. Return springs are built to original equipment specifications using ATM A228 cold-drawn high-carbon steel. Nitrile rubber seals keep grease inside the conduit and keep moisture out.
Wagner brake cable-end fittings are zinc-plated and treated with chromic acid to resist corrosion. The end fittings are either die-cast or crimped, depending on the application, and remain attached to the cable even when subjected to forces of more than 1,000 pounds.
High-temperature grease is injected into the conduit during assembly to lubricate the galvanized wire inside. Nylon sleeve supports help seal and extend the length of the conduit fitting, providing a barrier between the cable wire and the conduit fitting.
Zinc-plated steel sleeves, installed where applicable, allow the cable to be clamped to the vehicle frame without damaging the conduit.
