Wabco 8933208624 1/2" NPT Male to M16x1.5 Fitting

Description

This is a 1/2" NPT Male to M16x1.5 fitting, designed for use in air brake systems. It facilitates the connection of air lines and components within the braking circuit, ensuring a secure and leak-free seal. This Wabco fitting, with MPN 8933208624, is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing compatibility and performance within the intended application. It provides a robust and reliable connection, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

This fitting is essentially an adapter. It connects two different types of threaded connections – the 1/2" NPT, which is a fairly standard tapered thread used a lot in North American plumbing and automotive work, to an M16x1.5, which is a metric fine thread more common on European and Japanese vehicles, particularly in air brake systems. It takes the connection from one style and translates it to another, letting you join lines or components that wouldn’t normally connect. You’ll find these most often in air brake lines on trucks, buses, and some heavy – duty equipment. It’s used where you need to connect a component with an American standard thread to a system that uses metric fittings. Sometimes it’s used to repair a damaged line, or when adapting a system for a different application. It basically creates a secure junction where air can travel safely and efficiently through the brake system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, air brakes need to be airtight, obviously. This fitting ensures that secure, leak – free connection. If it fails, or isn’t properly sealed, you’ll have a loss of air pressure in the system. You’ll notice if you have a leak—reduced braking power, the air compressor running constantly, maybe even a warning light. It acts like a shield, keeping the pressurized air where it needs to be to stop your vehicle. It’s a small part, but a critical one for safety. We actually carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you want to check availability and pricing. It's always good to have a spare on hand for maintenance too.
