Wabco 4750060100 Pressure Reducing Valve

Description

The Wabco 4750060100 Pressure Reducing Valve is a critical component within air brake systems. It's designed to regulate air pressure, ensuring consistent and reliable braking performance in commercial vehicles and trailers. This valve maintains a stable downstream pressure regardless of fluctuations in the supply line, protecting sensitive components and improving overall system efficiency. With dimensions of 130 x 90 x 140 mm, this OE specification valve delivers precise pressure control, enhanced safety, and contributes to extended service life of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve takes the high – pressure air from your truck's air compressor and lowers it to a safe, usable pressure for things like the trailer brakes, or auxiliary systems. Basically, it steps down the air pressure. It has a couple of different settings you can adjust to get the right amount of pressure where you need it. Some have a priority feature too, so it ensures the tractor protection systems always get enough air first, even if you're running other air – powered equipment. Think of it as a regulator for your air system. Your air compressor makes a lot of pressure, but you don't want that much going to everything, especially trailer brakes. This valve sits in the air line and controls how much air gets through. It’s typically found in the air supply line going to the trailer or to other air accessories.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's really vital for safety and proper operation. Too much pressure to the trailer brakes, and you risk locking them up. Too little, and they won’t stop you effectively. It acts like a shield protecting your components from damage. You’ll notice if this valve fails because your trailer brakes might not apply correctly, or you could have issues with air horns or other air – powered accessories. If it sticks open, you might even get over – pressurized components. You can find these pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and it's a part you really don't want to run without a functioning one.
