This is a Wabco Gasket, a critical component used within the air compressor of Air Brake Systems. It ensures a reliable seal to maintain system performance and prevent leaks. This gasket meets OE specifications, contributing to consistent brake operation and extended component life. It measures 142 x 1 x 175 mm. This gasket’s job is pretty simple, really. It creates a seal between the air compressor and the engine block – basically where they bolt together. It stops air, and crucially oil, from leaking out from where those two parts meet. It also keeps dirt and debris from getting in and messing things up. Within the air brake system, the air compressor is what generates the compressed air that actually makes the brakes work on a larger vehicle – think trucks, buses, or anything heavy duty. The gasket is a small part, but it’s right at the heart of making that whole system function. Without good air pressure, those brakes aren’t going to be reliable. It’s like a plug in a dam – holds everything in, keeps everything working. If this gasket fails, you’ll start losing air pressure. You’ll notice if your air brakes are taking longer to engage, or if your air pressure gauge is dropping when the compressor is running. A bad leak can lead to a complete brake failure, which is obviously a major safety issue. It's also going to cause the compressor to work harder, potentially damaging it over time. Replacing this gasket is a relatively inexpensive repair compared to the cost of fixing a damaged compressor or dealing with brake problems. You can usually find a good replacement for pretty reasonable money; Fixparts Online carries a lot of these, and they’re usually pretty straightforward to install if you’re comfortable doing a little DIY work. We’re here to help: Gasket (MPN 9121101404) has a 12-month warranty!
