Wabco 8931200182 Double Hose Connector

Description

The Wabco 8931200182 Double Hose Connector is a critical component used within air brake systems, specifically for connecting dual air lines. It's designed for use in commercial vehicles and trailers where a reliable and secure connection is required for optimal braking performance. This connector is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring compatibility and performance. Its dimensions are 22 x 22 x 44 mm and it features a M16 x 1.5 thread and accepts a tube diameter of 11 x 3.5. This robust construction provides a leak-free seal and contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically joins two sections of air brake hose together. It’s a straight connector, so it doesn’t change the direction of the line, just extends it. It creates a secure, airtight seal between those two hoses. It’s held together with clamps, of course, but the connector itself does the main job of keeping the air pressure where it needs to be. It’s part of your air brake system, obviously. That system is what stops big rigs, buses, and some trailers. These connectors will be found along the air lines running from the compressor to the brakes themselves. You’ll often find them in sections where hoses get repaired or replaced. It’s a pretty fundamental building block of the entire system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your air brakes rely on air pressure to work. If you’ve got a leak anywhere in that system, even a small one, you lose braking power. This connector acts like a shield against those leaks where hoses connect. You’ll notice if one of these fails because you might hear air hissing, or your air compressor will be working harder to maintain pressure. It's a safety item, plain and simple. A failing brake line is a big deal. We can get these at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to order, or I can check stock here. They’re usually pretty straightforward to replace, but it’s always best to have someone familiar with air brakes do the work.
