Wabco 9650019382 Foot Brake Valve Kit

Description

This kit contains a Foot Brake Valve, which is a critical component in air brake systems. It's used in heavy-duty vehicles, trucks, and trailers to allow the driver to control the brakes using a foot pedal. This Wabco kit, with MPN 9650019382, ensures proper braking function and safety. The valve measures 92 x 97 x 203 mm. This repair kit is manufactured to OE specification, delivering reliable performance and extending the lifespan of the air brake system. It provides precise control and consistent stopping power for optimal vehicle operation.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically controls the air pressure going to the brakes on your trailer – or sometimes even on the truck itself, depending on the setup. It takes the signal from when you press the foot pedal and translates that into a controlled release or application of air to the brake chambers. It has a few different parts within the kit, including the valve itself, springs, seals, and sometimes even some small lines. Essentially, it manages how hard the brakes apply based on how much pressure you put on the pedal. Think of it as the central control for your air brakes. When you push down on the brake pedal, it’s not directly sending air to the brakes. It’s sending a signal to this valve, and this valve then decides how much air gets sent where. It allows for smooth, controlled stops and prevents them from locking up. It’s a critical part of the air brake system, especially for larger vehicles or those towing trailers.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, it's pretty vital, honestly. If this valve fails, you can lose braking power, or have uneven braking, which is really dangerous. You’ll notice if it's going bad if your brakes feel spongy, take a long time to engage, or if you're getting inconsistent braking force. It acts like a shield, protecting the whole system from over – pressurization, and ensuring everything functions safely. If you're doing any maintenance on your air brakes, this is a part you definitely want to keep an eye on.
