Part Identification

As the leading automatic tire inflation system in North America, the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS™) with ThermALERT™ Standard is designed to be compatible with a wide range of axle and wheel-end component combinations. To help ensure that you specify the correct MTIS kit for an application, Meritor is pleased to provide the following guidelines to assist in product selection, which depends on the type of axles and wheel-ends on the trailer.

  • Specify a New or Retrofit Kit
    Please determine following information to allow selection of the proper kit:
    1. Axle Manufacturer
    2. Spindle Series (“N” - Tapered, Or “P” - Straight)
    3. Dual Tires or Single Tire (SS)
    4. Wheel Size
    5. Number of Axles (Single, Tandem, Tridem, Quad)
    6. Hub Material - Ductile Iron or Aluminum and if it's a ConMet PreSet design
    7. Appropriate Style of Hubcap
    8. Desired Cold Tire Pressure Setting
    9. Hubcap Type or Wheel End Lubrication Type
    *NOTE: Hubcaps may be included in kits or may be ordered separately. When ordering hubcaps separately, please provide appropriate style of hubcap and wheel end lubrication type if part number is not known.
    * NOTE: All retrofit kits are pre-set to 100psi. Please consult the MTIS Maintenance and Installation Manual (MM14P) for additional details.
    * NOTE: For part number nomenclature explanation, see Table 2.
  • For Installation on Meritor TN/TQ Axles with Tapered Spindles
     
    Specify kits having thru-tee assemblies with 3.5" long tubes when the trailer axles are equipped with either ductile iron or aluminum hubs. The hubs can be ConMet PreSet or other designs.
  • For Installation on Meritor TP Axles with Parallel Spindles
     
    Specify kits having thru-tee assemblies with 4" long tubes when the trailer axles are equipped with ductile iron hubs except for ConMet hubs. If the trailer axles are equipped with aluminum or ConMet ductile iron hubs, specify an MTIS kit containing thru-tees with 5" long tubes.
  • Determine the type of kit you need.
    MTIS Kit Part Numbers “Partial” MTIS Kits
    “Partial” kits do not include spindle press plugs or stators. Partial kits are for installation on axles which have been prepped for MTIS at the production factory. (The spindle press plugs and stators have been installed on the axles.) Note that the standard thru-tee length for partial MTIS kits is 3.5". If you require a longer thru-tee length, please inform your Meritor customer service representative when placing your MTIS order. When a length other than the standard 3.5" is specified, it will be stated in the kit part number. Refer to the following table for examples.
  • Trailer Axle and Hub Types Recommended Thru-tee Tube Length MTIS with ThermALERT™ Partial Kit Part Number H2712 Family
    TN axle with ductile iron hubs including ConMet PreSet or PreSet Plus 3.5" H2712-22
    TN axle with aluminum hubs including ConMet PreSet or PreSet Plus 3.5" H2712-22
    TP axle with ductile iron hubs 4" H2712-22-4
    TP axle with aluminum hubs 5" H2712-22-5
    TP axle with ConMet PreSet or PreSet Plus hubs 5" H2712-22-5
  • “Full” MTIS Kits
     
    “Full” MTIS kits and the other components as shown in Figure 5 are for installation on axles which have not been prepped for MTIS. These kits include spindle press plugs and stators. The standard thru-tee tube length for a full MTIS kit is based on the spindle type for which the kit is intended. For example, a full MTIS kit for a TN axle will have a standard thru-tee tube length of 3.5" while a full MTIS kit for a TP axle will have a standard thru-tee tube length of 4". If you require a thru-tee length longer than the standard length, please inform your Meritor customer service representative when placing your MTIS order. When a length other than the standard is specified, it will be stated in the kit part number. Refer to the tables below for the axle type and product codes.
