An assembly for an ATI comprising a tube member forming a portion of a rotary union to be removed through an opening in a wheel hub without removing the wheel hub from the vehicle axle. The tube member may include a hardened shaft that is coupled to a fixed conduit providing a pressurized air source to a tire installed on the wheel hub. A bushing and seal rotates with respect to the tube member to form the rotary union. The assembly is designed to be quickly serviced in the field, where the serviceable parts are very inexpensive.
