Wabco 4721732060 3/2 Way Solenoid Valve Assembly

Description

The 3/2 Way Solenoid Valve Assembly is a critical component within air brake systems, designed to control the flow of compressed air. It's commonly used in commercial vehicles and heavy machinery where reliable braking performance is essential. This Wabco valve, with MPN 4721732060, features a normally open configuration and is suitable for applications requiring quick and precise air control. Measuring 68 x 131 x 40 mm, this device offers robust performance across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +80°C and operates at a maximum pressure of 13.0 bar. The valve is designed with a bayonet DIN 72 585 A1-2.1-Sn/K2 electrical connection, and the ports are threaded V12 x 1.5 and M12 x 1.5, and provides IP 6K9K / IP 6K7 protection. This OE specification valve delivers enhanced durability, precise control, and reliable operation, contributing to improved safety and efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically controls airflow within your air brake system. The “3/2 Way” just means it has three ports – one for incoming air, one to the actuator (like the brakes themselves), and one to exhaust air – and it switches between two positions: letting air flow, or blocking it. It’s electrically operated, using a solenoid – a little electromagnetic coil – to open and close that airflow. Think of it like a gatekeeper for the air that powers your brakes. It's a key part of your air brake system, commonly used in things like the parking brake or spring brakes. When the solenoid gets energized – usually by the driver pressing a button or the system automatically – it allows air to flow, releasing those brakes. When power is cut, it blocks the air, applying the brakes. It's a pretty critical control element.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your brakes are obviously important, right? This valve acts like a shield, making sure the air goes where it’s supposed to, when it’s supposed to. If it fails, you could end up with brakes that won’t release, or brakes that don’t apply when you need them. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad, usually because your parking brake will either be stuck on, or won't hold at all. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and it's something you really want to keep in good working order for safety’s sake. A faulty valve can lead to serious problems, so it's worth addressing as soon as you suspect an issue.
