Standard fitment -

Service air line (usually yellow)
Emergency air line (usually red)
Main electrical (usually black, with green plugs)
ABS (black, with 7-socket plug)

Optional fitment -

Auxiliary electrical (usually black, with white or grey plugs)
EBS (black, with 5 socket plug)
Hydraulics (black, with high pressure coupling)

Some older tractor units may have an auxiliary air line, which is usually blue.

The actual physical coupling between a tractor unit and a trailer (artic) is universally a fifth wheel and pin type.
The connection between a wagon and drag is usually a loop and auto-drop pin.

YOU HAVE THE STANDARD






You have the standard airlines on all trailers plus now if fitted you must use the abs line to connect to the trailer. In europe they use a different system these are called palm couplings (a pain in the butt) they can be mixed up easy because the uk fittings only go on there correct positions i.e male and female where as the palm ones fit both ends on the trailer. You may fine on wagon and drags they are palm couplings.
