Wabco 4721727860 3/2 Way Solenoid Valve

Description

The Wabco 3/2 Way Solenoid Valve is a critical component within air brake systems, responsible for controlling the flow of compressed air to actuate brakes and other pneumatic functions. It's commonly used in commercial vehicles and industrial applications where reliable air control is essential. This valve features a normally closed configuration and is designed for OE specification performance, ensuring compatibility and dependability. The valve's dimensions are 63 x 111 x 48 mm, and it operates with a 24V electrical connection utilizing Bayonet DIN 72 585 A1-2.1-Sn/K1. With a maximum operating pressure of 12.5 bar and a nominal diameter of 2.2 mm, it provides precise and efficient air control, and is protected to IP 6K9K / IP 6K7 standards. Its robust construction and technical specification guarantee long-lasting performance and contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, this valve controls airflow in your air brake system. The “3/2 way” part just tells you how it controls it. It has three ports – one for pressure in, one for pressure out, and one that vents to the atmosphere. It switches between two positions – either allowing air to flow between the inlet and outlet, or blocking the flow and venting the pressure. It’s electrically operated, so when it gets a signal from the system, it either opens or closes that airflow. You’ll find these used in a lot of different parts of an air brake system. Things like controlling the operation of air brakes themselves, the parking brake, even the air suspension on some vehicles. It’s a pretty common component for directing air where it needs to go to activate those systems. Think of it like a gatekeeper for the air.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this valve fails, whatever system it controls won't work right. You'll notice if it's related to your brakes – you might have trouble applying the parking brake, or even have issues with your service brakes holding properly. It’s a safety – critical part, because it directly impacts how well your vehicle can stop. It acts like a shield, preventing air from going where it shouldn't, and letting it through when it needs to. We carry a good selection of these, and you can often find a great price on a replacement at Fixparts Online if you’re looking. It's definitely something you want to keep in good working order.
