Wabco 4614941074 Plate

Description

This plate is a component utilized within air brake systems, specifically in air valves. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the proper functioning of the braking mechanism in commercial vehicles. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4614941074, this plate adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing performance and reliability. Its dimensions are 2 x 32 x 41 mm. This component’s precise design and construction contribute to a stable and efficient braking system, enhancing vehicle safety and operational longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

This plate basically seals things up around your air valve. It’s a flat piece, usually metal, that covers the valve assembly and creates a tight barrier. It has a gasket or O – ring on it, and together they prevent air leaks. It also provides a mounting surface for other components like the valve cover and sometimes even the air lines. It's a pretty simple piece, but vital for a good air brake system. Think of your air brake system like the heart of stopping power for bigger vehicles – trucks, buses, trailers. This plate is part of the network that ensures air pressure is held consistently. The air valves control the flow of air to the brakes, and this plate keeps that air in the system where it needs to be. It’s connected directly to the valve, preventing dirt, water, and grime from getting inside and messing things up.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this plate fails – if it cracks, warps, or the gasket goes bad – you’ll lose air pressure. It's like a slow leak in a tire. You’ll notice if your brakes start feeling spongy or take longer to engage. More importantly, a significant leak can lead to complete brake failure. It's a safety item, plain and simple. It acts like a shield, protecting the valve internals and maintaining the pressure needed to stop a heavy vehicle. It's not a part you want to skip replacing if you see any issues. We carry a good range of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a new one is far cheaper than dealing with brake problems down the road.
