Pipes between hydraulic pump, hydraulic manifold & gearbox or engine actuators

In Simple Terms

This rule covers the hydraulic pipes and connectors that transfer fluid between the hydraulic pump, the control center (manifold), and various systems like the gearbox or engine actuators. It also includes pipes connected to cooling systems and actuators that aren't part of the gearbox, as well as power unit systems like brake-by-wire and power-assisted steering. Teams must use approved pipes, fittings, and quick-disconnect connectors in these locations.

• Governs all hydraulic pipes connecting the pump to manifold and gearbox/engine actuators
• Includes cooling system pipes and non-gearbox actuator connections
• Covers power unit systems like brake-by-wire (BBW) and power-assisted steering (PAS)
• Specifies approved types of fittings and quick-disconnect (QD) connectors
