Wabco 4619012242 Exhaust

Description

This Wabco exhaust is a critical component within air brake systems, functioning to release pressure and ensure safe and efficient braking performance. It is used in air brake valve assemblies to control airflow. This component meets OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 50 x 50 x 40 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically releases air pressure when you don't want the brakes applied. Think of it like letting air out of a balloon – it lowers the pressure. It does this when you hit the gas pedal, or when the system is actively disengaging the brakes. It's also key in emergency situations, quickly venting the lines so the spring brakes can engage. It’s a pretty important little component, handling the release and safety functions. In your air brake system, it’s the counterpart to the application valve, which applies the brakes. They work together as a team. When you push the brake pedal, the application valve sends air to the brake chambers. When you let off the brake, this exhaust valve lets that air out of the system, releasing the brakes. It's a critical part of that cycle. It's usually connected directly to the brake chamber lines.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this valve fails, it’s a big deal. It can cause your brakes to drag—meaning they stay partially on even when you don’t want them to. You’ll notice if that happens, usually through reduced fuel economy, overheating brakes, and maybe even difficulty moving the vehicle. Worse, it could prevent the brakes from fully releasing, or affect the emergency braking system. You really want this working right. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it's something you’d want to address quickly if you suspect a problem. A faulty exhaust valve doesn't just affect stopping power, it affects overall vehicle control.
