Wabco 4722706000 Solenoid Valve 2/2 Way

Description

The Wabco 4722706000 Solenoid Valve 2/2 Way is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically functioning as an air valve to control the flow of compressed air. It's commonly used in commercial vehicles and industrial applications to actuate brakes, clutches, and other pneumatic devices. This valve features a normally closed design, operating efficiently with a 24V electrical connection and handling a maximum operating pressure of 13.0 bar. Its robust construction, with dimensions of 63 x 121 x 105 mm, and protection class of IP 6K6 / IP 6K9K, ensures reliable performance in harsh environments. The valve's 4.0 mm nominal diameter and M12 x 1.5 port threads contribute to efficient air flow and secure connections.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, this little valve is an on/off switch for compressed air. The “2/2” part tells you how it works – two ports and two positions. Air can flow from one port to the other when the valve is energized (when you send electricity to it), and it shuts off when the power is removed. It’s a simple concept, but crucial for controlling air flow. It doesn't regulate how much air flows, just whether it flows at all. You'll find these used in a bunch of places in an air brake system, things like controlling air to the spring brakes, activating the parking brake, or even controlling the lift axle on some trucks. It's often acting as a pilot valve – a small valve that controls a larger one. Think of it like the trigger on a gun – a small action controls a much bigger result. They're pretty reliable, but when they fail, things definitely stop working like they should.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this valve goes bad, the function it controls obviously won’t work. You’ll notice if the spring brakes unexpectedly apply, or if you can’t get the parking brake to engage, or if an axle isn’t lifting when it should. It acts like a shield, protecting other components of the air brake system. A failing valve can cause all sorts of headaches. Luckily, they're usually pretty straightforward to replace.
