This component is engineered to OE specification, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance for improved air brake system integrity and durability.

Key Features & Benefits

These rings basically hold the air reservoir securely to the mounting bracket. Think of it as a really strong hug keeping everything in place. They’re typically metal bands that tighten around the reservoir and bracket, and they’re tightened with bolts. They don’t actually do anything with the air system itself, they're purely a mechanical holding piece. It’s part of the air brake system, so it’s crucial for larger vehicles – trucks, buses, trailers, that sort of thing. The air reservoir is where compressed air is stored, which is obviously what powers those brakes. The clamp ring keeps that reservoir from moving around while the vehicle is in motion. Without it, vibration and just normal driving would eventually work it loose, and that’s not good.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s a safety item, plain and simple. If the reservoir comes loose, you can lose air pressure, and that directly affects your braking ability. You’ll notice if a clamp ring is failing because you might experience increased vibration from the reservoir, or you could even visually see it’s not tightly secured. It’s a relatively small part, but a critical one. You can find them pretty easily online, we stock a good range at Fixparts Online, but honestly, any reputable auto parts supplier should have what you need. They're not expensive, and replacing a failing one is a lot cheaper than dealing with brake issues.
