Wabco 4613171504 Guide

Description

This Wabco guide, MPN 4613171504, is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically used in air valves. It ensures precise alignment and smooth operation of moving parts within the valve assembly. This guide is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing reliable performance and durability. Its dimensions are 25 x 25 x 50 mm, offering a compact yet robust solution for demanding applications. The precise construction of this component minimizes friction and wear, contributing to extended service life and optimal braking system efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

This little part basically directs the flow of compressed air within your air brake system. Think of it as a traffic controller for the air. It makes sure the air gets where it needs to go – to the brakes, to activate them, and to release them when you lift your foot off the pedal. It's got internal channels and ports that open and close, based on signals from the driver’s controls and the system itself, managing the air pressure to each brake chamber. It also handles things like applying the spring brakes if the air pressure drops unexpectedly – a crucial safety feature. It’s a core component of the entire air brake system, usually found within the air control valve assembly. It doesn't work alone, of course; it’s all connected to things like the compressor, reservoir, and brake chambers. But this guide is really the thing making the system function as intended. It’s responsible for rapidly and accurately delivering the air needed for braking, and preventing leaks or misdirection.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your brakes are obviously pretty important, right? This guide is vital to them working correctly. If it fails, you might get slow response from your brakes, uneven braking – one side grabbing more than the other – or even a complete loss of braking power. It acts like a shield, protecting the core functionality of your air brakes. You’ll notice if it’s failing usually with longer stopping distances, or the brakes feeling spongy or slow to engage. It’s a safety item through and through. You can find these on sites like Fixparts Online, and getting a good quality one is definitely worth it to keep you and your rig safe on the road.
