Wabco 8934017700 Angle Connector

Description

The Wabco 8934017700 Angle Connector is a crucial component within air brake systems, specifically designed for creating secure and reliable connections. It's used in the fittings of these systems to direct airflow for proper brake function. This connector is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring a precise fit and consistent performance. It features M16 x 1.5 and M22 x 1.5 threads and measures 36.0 mm in length (L1) and 23.0 mm in length (L2), with a wrench size of 28.0 mm. This design maximizes durability and minimizes potential leak points, contributing to a safer and more efficient braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This little part basically connects sections of air line together, but it does it at an angle. Instead of a straight connection, it lets you route the air line around other components, or in a tighter space, without kinking or stressing the line. It's usually threaded on both ends, so you tighten it down onto the air lines and it seals everything up. They come in different angles – 45, 90 degrees are common – depending on the specific routing needed. In your air brake system, these connectors are all about making those lines go where they need to go reliably. Think of your air brakes as needing a constant supply of air to work, and those air lines are the veins and arteries. This connector is just a small piece that keeps the flow going smoothly, avoiding sharp bends that could weaken or break the line. You’ll find them connecting sections of air line leading to your air bags, brake chambers, and the air reservoir.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If one of these fails, or starts leaking, you'll notice if your air brakes aren't holding pressure correctly, or you might hear a hissing sound. A leak, even a small one, can reduce braking efficiency, and that’s obviously a big safety concern. It's a small part, but it plays a critical role in keeping your brakes functioning properly. It almost acts like a shield against pressure loss in the system. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s worth keeping a spare or two on hand, especially if you do your own maintenance.
