International S1700-S1900 Air Tanks-Wraps-Mount

Frequently Asked Questions About International S1700-S1900 Air Tanks-Wraps-Mount

What is included in an air tank wrap and mount kit for the International S1700-S1900?

These kits typically include the sheet metal wrap panel that covers and houses the air tank, along with the mounting brackets and hardware needed to secure the tank and wrap to the truck frame. Some listings offer the wrap only, while others bundle the mounting components, so check the product description carefully to confirm exactly what is included before ordering.

Will this air tank wrap fit my specific International S1700-S1900 model year?

Fit can vary depending on frame configuration, tank size, and the specific model year of your truck, even within the S1700-S1900 series. Always compare the dimensions and mounting hole patterns listed in the product specs against your truck, and reach out to our team with your VIN or truck details if you are unsure before purchasing.

What material are these air tank wraps made from, and do they come with a finish?

Most air tank wraps are constructed from steel or aluminum, depending on the manufacturer and part number. Finish options can include raw or unpolished metal, painted, or in some cases a polished or brushed finish for a cleaner look. Review the specific product listing to confirm the material and finish before buying, since options vary by SKU.

Can I install the air tank wrap and mount myself, or do I need a professional?

Many customers install these wraps and mounts themselves with basic hand tools, especially if replacing an existing wrap in the same location. However, because the air tank is tied into your truck's air brake system, any work involving disconnecting or repositioning air lines should be done carefully, and if you are not comfortable working around brake system components, having a qualified technician handle the installation is a safer choice.

Does replacing the air tank wrap affect my truck's air brake system or DOT compliance?

The wrap itself is a cosmetic and protective cover and does not affect brake function, but any time you remove or loosen air lines and fittings connected to the tank, those connections need to be reinstalled correctly and checked for leaks to keep your air brake system working properly. If your truck is subject to DOT inspection, make sure all air lines, fittings, and mounting hardware are secure and undamaged after installation.
