Wabco 7244910008 Hose

Description

This Wabco hose is a crucial component within air brake systems, specifically used in air valves to facilitate the flow of compressed air. It ensures reliable operation of the braking system, contributing to vehicle safety and control. This OE specification hose is designed for durability and precise fitment, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the air brake system. Its dimensions are 65 x 53 x 53 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These hoses basically connect all the different parts of your air brake system – the compressor, the air tanks, the valves, and ultimately the brake chambers at each wheel. They’re designed to carry compressed air, obviously, and they need to be flexible enough to handle the movement of the vehicle without cracking or leaking. They also have to withstand a lot of pressure and temperature changes. Some hoses are even reinforced with braiding to give them extra strength. Think of it like this – the air brake system is how you stop the vehicle. The hoses are the veins and arteries of that system, delivering the air pressure where it needs to go. Without good hoses, that air can't get to the brakes reliably. They’re part of a closed loop, so a leak anywhere really impacts everything. They connect the tractor to the trailer too, so the trailer brakes work with the tractor brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, brakes are pretty crucial, right? A failing or leaking air hose can mean reduced braking power, or even complete brake failure on a wheel or the entire trailer. You’ll notice if a hose is starting to crack or bulge – those are definite warning signs. They act like a shield against air loss, so even a small pinhole can cause problems over time. Regular inspection is super important. If you need to replace one, you want to make sure you’re getting a quality part. We carry a good selection here, and you can find a lot of options online at Fixparts Online as well, but always double – check the specs to make sure it's the right one for your vehicle. Neglecting these can be a really dangerous situation, so it's best to stay on top of it.
