Wabco 4324332042 Solenoid Kit

Description

This Wabco Solenoid Kit is a critical component of air brake systems, specifically designed for use in air dryers. It functions as a vital part of maintaining proper air pressure and ensuring reliable braking performance in commercial vehicles. This repair kit is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing a precise fit and consistent operation. Its dimensions are 80 x 65 x 95 mm, and it carries MPN 4324332042.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically controls the flow of air through your air dryer system. The solenoid itself is an electrically activated valve. It opens and closes to let air pass, and more importantly, to dump the condensed water that collects in the air dryer. It cycles on and off, timed by the system, to get rid of that moisture. The kit includes the solenoid and usually the exhaust valve assembly it controls – sometimes those get stuck or fail together. This all lives within your air brake system, so it’s crucial for heavy – duty vehicles – think trucks, buses, anything with air brakes. The air dryer’s job is to clean the compressed air going to your brakes. That clean, dry air is what actually pushes on the brake chambers to stop the vehicle. This solenoid is the mechanism that purges the water collected during that cleaning process. It’s a key part of keeping everything operating smoothly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Moisture in the air brake lines is a big problem. It can freeze in cold weather, blocking the system. It can corrode lines and components. And it reduces the efficiency of your brakes, meaning longer stopping distances. The solenoid ensures that water gets dumped, acting like a shield against those issues. You’ll notice if it fails pretty quickly – you might get a warning light on the dash, or the brakes may feel sluggish. It’s a safety item, plain and simple. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a kit like this is often easier than trying to find individual components. If you’re doing this yourself, make sure you drain all the air pressure from the system first, it’s really important.
