Key Features & Benefits

This little strap connects the control lever in the cab to the air valve it operates. Basically, it takes the mechanical movement of you pulling or pushing that lever and translates it into a signal for the air brakes. It's a pretty simple part, but crucial for the whole system. It's what physically makes the brakes work when you tell them to. Think of it as a direct link between you and stopping the vehicle. It's part of the air brake system, which, of course, is how larger vehicles—trucks, buses, trailers—slow down and stop. It’s positioned right where the driver controls the brakes, so it's constantly working every time you use the pedal. It's not a huge component, it’s tucked away, but it’s doing a really important job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this strap breaks or gets stretched out, you lose that direct connection. It acts like a shield, protecting the valve from failing, and if it goes, the brakes might not apply correctly, or at all. You’ll notice if it’s failing because the brakes might feel spongy, require more effort to use, or just not respond quickly. It’s a safety item, so it's definitely something you want to keep in good shape. We can usually get these shipped quickly from places like Fixparts Online, so keeping a spare on hand is a good idea, especially if you’re running a fleet. Don’t mess around with brakes, alright? It’s better to replace this proactively than to deal with a brake failure.
