The Wabco 8931294042 Hose Barb is a stud coupling component used within Air Brake Systems, specifically for Air Pipes & Lines. It functions as a connection point for air hoses, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. This hose barb features a steel body with an inner diameter of 11 and an outer diameter of 14, designed for a tube diameter of 13 x 6. Its M22 x 1.5 thread and 28.0 mm wrench size facilitate easy installation and maintenance. Constructed to OE specification, this component operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C and supports a maximum operating pressure of 10.0 bar, guaranteeing reliable performance and durability. The dimensions of this hose barb are 32 x 28 x 57 mm. These little guys are all about connecting flexible air hoses to rigid air lines in your brake system. They’re basically a fitting with a barbed end – that’s where the hose grips tightly. You slide the hose over the barb, and sometimes a clamp goes over it to make absolutely sure it doesn't come loose. They come in different sizes to match your hose and air line diameters, and they’ll usually have threaded ends so you can screw them into your air tanks, reservoirs, or control valves. In your air brake system, these are critical connection points. Think of the air lines as the veins and arteries delivering the brake power. The hose barbs are where the flexible parts join the solid lines. You’ll find them connecting the air compressor to the reservoir, the reservoir to the brake chambers, and all the way around the system. They ensure a secure, airtight seal at each connection. Air brakes rely on air pressure, obviously. Any leaks, even small ones, can seriously affect your braking ability. A loose or damaged hose barb will let air escape, meaning it takes longer to build up pressure, or even worse, causes a total loss of braking power. You’ll notice if one is failing because you might get an air leak sound, or your brakes won't feel as strong as they should. They act like a shield, preventing that air from escaping and keeping your brakes working properly. You can find a good selection of hose barbs, in all the common sizes, over at Fixparts Online, if you're looking for replacements. Just make sure you get the right diameter for your hoses and lines. Dedicated to your needs: Hose Barb (MPN 8931294042) comes with a 12-month warranty!
