A heavy-duty vehicle brake hardware mounting component that includes an integrated axle vent system and optional air supply line connector. The brake hardware mounting component includes a body with a central opening disposed around and rigidly attached to an axle of the vehicle. An annular groove is formed within the central opening and is in fluid communication with an axle opening. The air supply line connector is attached within an opening formed in the body and extends through the groove and into the axle opening, and enables attachment of and fluid communication between components of a tire inflation system within the axle and an external air source. Pressurized air from within the axle can flow through the axle opening, around the air supply line connector, through the annular groove, through a check valve in fluid communication with the groove, and to atmosphere to relieve air pressure build-up within the axle.
