Wabco 9735000000 Distribution Valve

Description

The Wabco 9735000000 Quick Release Valve, also known as a Distribution Valve, is a critical component within air brake systems. This valve is designed for use in commercial vehicles and trailers, facilitating the rapid release of air pressure to the brakes for efficient and responsive braking performance. It features a double check valve for enhanced reliability and safety. With dimensions of 66 x 70 x 86 mm, this device operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C and handles a maximum operating pressure of 12.0 bar. The valve incorporates M22 x 1.5 port threads and mounting provisions for 2x Ø 9.5 mm bolts, ensuring a secure and compatible installation. Its nominal diameter is 14.0 mm, and the distance between bolts is 38 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically takes the air pressure from your compressor and carefully sends it to the different air brake chambers on your truck or trailer. It manages the airflow to the front and rear brakes, controlling how much pressure goes where. It also has a safety feature – it can isolate the front and rear systems if one develops a leak, so you don’t lose all your braking ability. Think of it like a traffic controller for the air going to your brakes. It's a critical component in your air brake system, falling between the compressor and the brake chambers themselves. The compressor makes the air, this valve decides where it goes, and then the brake chambers actually do the stopping. It works with other parts like the relay valves, but this is one of the central pieces. It's typically found somewhere along the air lines, usually near the chassis, but location can vary.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This valve is super important for safe stopping. If it fails, you could have uneven braking, where one set of brakes is applying much harder than the other, or you might lose brakes altogether. You’ll notice if it’s going bad—you might get a low air pressure warning light, feel pulling to one side when braking, or experience longer stopping distances. It’s a key safety component. You can find replacements for these, along with a lot of other air brake parts, over at Fixparts Online if you need one. It's definitely something you want to keep in good working order.
