Description

The Wabco 4/3 Way Solenoid Valve (MPN: 4630372020) is a critical component in air brake systems, controlling the flow of compressed air to actuate brakes in commercial vehicles. It features a locking function for secure operation and is designed for a maximum operating pressure of 11.0 bar. This valve measures 38 x 62 x 109 mm and has ports with M12 x 1.5 and M10 x 1 threads. Its robust design and OE specification ensure reliable performance and contribute to enhanced braking system efficiency and safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically controls airflow in your air brake system. The “4/3 way” part means it has four ports for air to enter or exit, and three different positions it can switch between. It directs air to either apply or release your brakes, or hold pressure. It’s electrically operated – that’s what the ‘solenoid’ part means – so when it gets a signal from your brake pedal or other controls, it quickly opens and closes those air pathways. Think of it like a rapid – fire set of internal switches controlling the air. It’s a key component in your air brake system, specifically used for things like the parking brake, spring brakes, or even controlling air suspension systems. It receives signals and tells the system whether to apply braking force, release it, or just hold everything steady. It’s usually found in the air lines running to the brake chambers. You'll find it working alongside other air controls.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, this valve directly impacts your ability to stop. If it fails, you could lose braking power or have issues with your parking brake staying engaged. It acts like a shield, protecting your ability to safely control the vehicle. You’ll notice if something's off with this part – things like brakes dragging, trouble releasing the parking brake, or air leaking from the system. We carry a good selection of these, you can find a lot of options at Fixparts Online, and it's important to get the right one for your make and model to ensure everything works correctly.
