Description

This spacer is a critical component used within air brake systems, specifically in air valves. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4613152612, this part ensures proper alignment and functionality within the braking system. Measuring 40 x 5 x 40 mm, this spacer is engineered to meet OE specifications, delivering reliable performance and durability for professional use.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically creates a precise gap or distance. It’s usually positioned between parts – like the valve itself and another component, or maybe between the valve and the mounting bracket. It ensures everything lines up properly and has the right amount of space to operate. Sometimes it acts like a shield, protecting delicate parts from vibration or stress. Different sizes exist for fine – tuning the alignment. Within the air brake system, these spacers ensure the air valves are positioned just right. These valves control the air pressure going to the brakes, so proper alignment is absolutely crucial. It’s a small component, but it’s part of a bigger system that stops your vehicle, so it's not something to mess with. It’s typically found on the valve assembly itself where it connects to other parts of the braking network.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If a spacer’s missing or damaged, it throws everything off. You’ll notice if it’s really bad – maybe you’ll hear unusual noises, or the brakes won’t operate smoothly. But even a small misalignment can cause premature wear on the valve and other components, leading to bigger, more expensive problems down the road. It’s a cheap part to replace, honestly, and a lot less hassle than dealing with a brake failure. You can find a good selection of these, and other air brake parts, at places like Fixparts Online if you need to order one. It’s really one of those preventative maintenance things. Replacing it now can save you a lot of headache later.
