This Wabco Bonnet, also known as a Hood, is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically functioning as an air valve. It's designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers where reliable air brake performance is essential. This bonnet ensures precise air control, contributing to system efficiency and responsiveness. With dimensions of 56 x 22 x 56 mm and MPN 9617234524, it adheres to OE specifications and delivers dependable functionality. This hood, technically called a valve protection hood, covers and protects the air control valve. It keeps dirt, debris, ice, and just general road grime off of it. It’s a pretty simple part, honestly. It just snaps or bolts right over the valve. Think of it like a shield. The air control valve is a critical piece in how your brakes work – it regulates the air pressure going to the brakes. The hood isn't involved in the braking itself, but it’s there to give that valve a safe, clean environment. It keeps the valve functioning smoothly. Well, if that valve gets clogged up with dirt or damaged, your brakes might not work properly. You’ll notice if the hood is missing or broken pretty easily, usually during a DOT inspection. It’s a cheap piece to replace, and a lot less expensive than having to fix a valve that failed because it wasn’t protected. We carry them at Fixparts Online, and you can usually get them shipped out same day. It’s one of those things that doesn’t make your truck go, but keeps it stopping reliably. Smart investment: Hood (MPN 9617234524) comes with a 12-month warranty!
