Expert in Custom Rubber & Silicone/Plastic Tubing, Seals, and Profiles – Comprehensive Solutions for Sealing, Fluid Transfer, and Structural Applications.
The windshield wiper spray pipe is a small but essential component of a vehicle's windshield washer system, delivering cleaning fluid from the reservoir to the spray nozzles. Key Features: Material: Typically made from flexible, chemical-resistant plastic (e.g., polyethylene or PVC) or rubber tubing to withstand washer fluid solvents and temperature extremes. Design: Thin, lightweight tubing that runs along the hood or wiper arms. May include quick-connect fittings for easy installation and replacement. Some models have precise nozzle adapters for optimal spray direction. Function: Transports washer fluid under low pressure to the spray jets. Ensures even distribution for effective windshield cleaning. Durability: Resistant to UV exposure, cracking, and fluid degradation. Common Issues & Maintenance: Clogging (due to dirty fluid or debris) – clean nozzles regularly. Cracking/Leaks – inspect tubing for wear, especially in cold weather. Advantages: Low-cost, easy to replace, and critical for maintaining visibility in adverse conditions.
