A vehicle air brake has an air-line safety replacement break connector 9C with end push fittings 3B & 14C allowing for connections to be made to UK, European and USA air-line types. When installed between an air-line 8C and an air supply outlet point 1C, in the event of a trauma to the vehicle or in the case of a heavy goods vehicle jack-knife, the connector breaks before damage occurs to the air-line coil 8C. The connector 9 may then be replaced as oppose to having to replace the whole air-line coil. The break connector 9C is made from brass and has a cylindrical cross-section.
