Find the best air storage components at Truckstop
At Truckstop, our collection includes air reservoirs, drain valves and automatic drain valves designed to support reliable, long‑term operation.
Compressed air affects the performance and safety of a truck’s braking and auxiliary systems. Air reservoirs store the compressed air generated by the compressor, enabling a steady supply is available whenever the brakes or other pneumatic functions are activated.
Standard drain valves allow operators to manually release accumulated moisture. However, for vehicles operating in harsh conditions or with high moisture levels, an automatic drain valve offers a more efficient solution, discharging water at set intervals or when moisture reaches a certain level.
Signs of issues within the air storage system include slow pressure build‑up, excessive water discharge, unusual noises from the reservoir or visible corrosion around fittings. Addressing these problems early prevents more serious failures and ensures the braking system continues to operate safely.
Truckstop’s air reservoirs and drainage components come from manufacturers known for producing reliable, heavy‑duty equipment. With UK nationwide delivery, we make it straightforward to maintain the compressed air storage your vehicles rely on.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should an air reservoir be drained?
Air reservoirs should be drained daily on vehicles with manual valves, especially in cold or damp conditions. Automatic drain valves reduce the need for manual draining but should still be checked during routine servicing.
What causes excessive moisture in a compressed air storage system?
High humidity, worn compressor components or a failing air dryer can increase moisture levels. Regular maintenance and effective drainage help prevent water build‑up inside the reservoir.
When should an air reservoir be replaced?
Reservoirs showing signs of internal corrosion, external rusting, air leaks or weakened mounting points should be replaced immediately to maintain system safety and compliance.
