Description

The Wabco 8934018272 is a 90 Degree Elbow, a critical component used within Air Brake Systems to facilitate directional changes in air lines. This elbow connects air lines with a 90-degree bend, ensuring efficient airflow within the braking circuit. Manufactured to OE specification, this elbow offers a precise fit and reliable performance, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of the air brake system. Its dimensions are 22 x 29 x 37 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This little fitting basically does what it sounds like – it connects two sections of air line at a 90 – degree angle. It creates a secure, leak – proof joint in your air brake lines. It’s a pretty simple part, but it’s crucial for making those turns and connections without stressing the lines themselves. It’s got threads on both ends, so it screws right in. In your truck or trailer, these elbows are part of the whole air brake network. The air brake system needs to get compressed air from the compressor to the brakes themselves, and that air travels through a lot of lines. These elbows allow the lines to turn corners and connect to components – like the air bags or brake chambers – without kinking or getting damaged. You’ll find them throughout the system, wherever there’s a need to change direction.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, a leak in the air brake system is a big deal. It can reduce braking power, and that’s obviously a safety hazard. This elbow, when it’s good, acts like a shield against those leaks. If one of these gets corroded, cracked, or just plain worn out, it’s going to start leaking air. You’ll notice if you have a failing elbow usually, as the brakes might feel spongy or take longer to engage. It's one of those parts that’s cheap to replace but could cause a lot of trouble if you ignore it. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, different sizes and materials to fit just about anything. Don’t skimp on these – it’s worth keeping your air brakes in top shape.
