Wabco 4757013904 Tube

Description

This tube is a component used within Wabco air brake systems, specifically in air valves. It's designed to function as a vital connection within the braking circuitry, ensuring reliable air flow for optimal performance. This tube meets OE specification, providing a precise fit and consistent functionality. It measures 7 x 141 x 48 mm. The MPN for this tube is 4757013904.

Key Features & Benefits

These tubes basically carry compressed air throughout the entire air brake system. Think of them like the arteries and veins in your body—they’re the pathways for the air that actually does the braking. They connect all the major components – the compressor, the air dryer, the reservoirs, and ultimately, the brake chambers at each wheel. They need to be flexible enough to handle vibration and movement, but strong enough to hold that air pressure without leaking. It’s a pretty critical role. These tubes aren’t just sitting there; they’re directly involved in stopping the vehicle. Air pressure builds up in the reservoirs, and when you hit the brake pedal, that air rushes through these tubes to apply the brakes at each wheel. Without a functioning tube network, you simply wouldn’t have air brakes. They connect everything.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, obviously, brakes are important, right? A failing or leaking tube can mean a loss of air pressure, which directly translates to reduced braking power. You’ll notice if one starts to go bad – typically you’ll have slow brake response, or maybe even a noticeable hissing sound. A completely failed tube can cause a complete brake failure, which is obviously a serious safety concern. Regular inspection is key. You can find a good selection of these, and a lot of other air brake parts, over at Fixparts Online, if you're looking. They’re a fairly simple component, but they act like a shield against a really dangerous situation, so keeping them in good condition is vital.
