Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically joins air brake hoses together. It’s got threads on both sides – that M16x1.5 tells you the size and pitch of those threads – and it allows you to connect sections of air line securely. Think of it like a connector for garden hoses, but much more robust and designed for the high pressures in your air brake system. It creates a tight, airtight seal. It's part of the whole air brake network on a truck, trailer, or bus. You’ll find these anywhere sections of air line need to be joined – often when a hose has been shortened during a repair or replacement, or to connect different lengths of hose to reach where they need to go. It’s a pretty fundamental piece, really. It's not something that makes the brakes work, but it allows the air to get where it needs to be to make the brakes work.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, air brakes rely on air pressure, right? If this adapter leaks, even a little bit, you lose pressure. That loss can affect braking performance – and that's obviously a big deal. It acts like a shield preventing air from escaping. You’ll notice if one of these starts to fail because you might get a hissing sound, or your air brake warning lights could come on. It’s a relatively inexpensive part, and a simple fix, but vital for safety. You can often find these at places like Fixparts Online, along with everything else you might need for your air brake system.
