Wabco 8933208654 1/2 NPT to M22x1.5 Fitting

Description

This Wabco fitting adapts a 1/2 NPT connection to an M22x1.5 thread, crucial for connecting air brake lines within heavy-duty vehicle air brake systems. This component ensures a secure and leak-proof connection, maintaining optimal air pressure for reliable braking performance. Manufactured to OE specification, this fitting guarantees compatibility and durability, contributing to the safety and longevity of the air brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

This fitting basically adapts air brake lines from one thread type to another. NPT is a common tapered thread standard here in the US – think of it like a wedge that seals as you tighten it. M22x1.5 is a metric, straight thread, more often found on European or some newer equipment. This fitting bridges that gap, allowing you to connect those two different line types together securely. It creates a watertight, airtight seal so your air brake system functions correctly. It's part of your air brake system, specifically connecting air lines. You’ll find these anywhere you’ve got different types of fittings needing to connect – maybe you’re replacing a section of air line and it needs to connect to something with a different thread size, or perhaps it’s part of a repair on a trailer with imported components. It's a relatively small piece, but essential for a complete, functioning air brake system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your air brakes are obviously pretty vital for safety, right? This fitting ensures there are no air leaks at that connection point. A leak means reduced braking power, and that’s obviously dangerous. It acts like a shield, keeping the pressurized air where it needs to be. You’ll notice if one of these fittings starts to fail – you’ll likely hear a hissing sound of escaping air, or your brakes may feel soft or unresponsive. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it's a good idea to replace these when doing other brake work to ensure everything is working at its best.
