Description

The Wabco 8934012924 Elbow Stud is a critical component within air brake systems, designed to facilitate secure connections between air lines and system components. This part is primarily used in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers where reliable air brake functionality is paramount. Engineered to OE specification, this elbow stud provides a robust and leak-free connection, enhancing the overall performance and safety of the air brake system. It measures 27 x 22 x 47 mm and features M16 x 1.5 threads on both ends.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy is basically a threaded connector. It’s designed to join sections of air brake line together, making a secure, airtight connection—and it does it at a 90 – degree angle, hence “elbow.” It's got threads on both ends, so you tighten it down to get that seal. It's a pretty simple component, but it needs to be strong and reliable. It lives within your air brake system, which, as you know, is vital for stopping a heavy vehicle. Specifically, the Elbow Stud connects the air lines that carry compressed air from the compressor to the brake chambers. Think of it like a link in a chain; if one link fails, the whole system is compromised. It’s usually found where lines need to turn corners, or where you’re joining multiple lines together.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s really important because your air brakes absolutely have to work perfectly, every time. This stud acts like a shield, preventing air leaks in that connection. Even a tiny leak can reduce braking power, which can be seriously dangerous, especially with a heavier load. You’ll notice if you have a failing stud because you might hear a hissing sound, or your brakes might feel spongy or weak. They’re relatively inexpensive to replace, and honestly, a small price to pay for maintaining safe braking. You can find them pretty easily, we stock a lot of these, and sites like Fixparts Online are good for finding the right size and thread type for your application. Just be sure you get the correct one for your air system.
