Description

This Wabco Spare Kit, MPN 5710040002, is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for air valves.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically replaces the key little bits inside your air control valve. It includes things like the inlet and outlet valves, the primary and secondary shuttle valves, and often O – rings and seals. These parts work together to manage the air pressure going to your brake chambers, controlling when the brakes apply and release. It’s all about precise air flow. Think of this kit as servicing the brain of your air brake system. The air control valve, and what’s inside it, decides where the air goes – to apply the service brakes when you push the pedal, or to apply the spring brakes in an emergency or if air pressure drops. It directs the airflow for normal braking and the safety features. It’s absolutely crucial for controlling the vehicle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These internal parts wear out over time, from normal use and exposure to dirt, moisture, and just the constant cycling. If they fail, you might get slow brake response, brakes dragging, or even a complete brake failure. You’ll notice if the brakes aren't holding properly, or if the air compressor is running way more than usual trying to keep up with a leak. Catching it early with a kit like this is way cheaper and safer than dealing with a major brake problem on the road. You can find a good selection of these kits at places like Fixparts Online – they usually list what vehicles each kit fits. It's really something you want to keep an eye on as part of regular maintenance.
