Wabco 8900343060 Air Reservoir 80L

Description

The Wabco 8900343060 Air Reservoir 80L is a critical component in heavy-duty air brake systems, used to store compressed air for braking functions in commercial vehicles. This reservoir ensures a consistent air supply for reliable and responsive braking performance. Its 80L capacity provides ample air storage, contributing to system efficiency and safety. This reservoir is manufactured to OE specification and measures 200 x 300 x 900 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically stores compressed air. Think of it like a big bottle that holds the air your air compressor makes. It’s not making the air, it’s just holding it ready to go when your brakes need it, or for other air – powered systems on the vehicle like the horn or maybe some suspension components. It receives air from the compressor and then feeds it out as needed. In your vehicle, it’s a key part of the air brake system. It sits right in line between the air compressor and the brakes themselves. When your compressor is running, it fills this reservoir. Then, when you hit the brakes, air is released from the reservoir to the brake chambers, which push the brake shoes or pads against the drums or rotors, stopping the vehicle. It’s a central holding tank for the whole system, and many systems will have multiple reservoirs for redundancy.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's vital because without enough stored air, your brakes just won't have the power they need to stop you safely. You’ll notice if it’s failing because your brakes might feel weak or it might take longer to come to a stop. Also, a lot of trucks have a low air pressure warning light, and that'll come on if the reservoir isn’t holding enough air. It acts like a shield against pressure fluctuations, giving you consistent braking force. If you're doing any work on the air brake system, it’s a part you really want to make sure is in good condition. We have a pretty good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you’re looking, and different sizes are available depending on your vehicle’s needs.
