Wabco 8933208764 5/8" Male to M16x1.5 Adapter Fitting

Description

This Wabco 5/8" Male to M16x1.5 Adapter Fitting is a crucial component within air brake systems, designed to connect air lines and components. It's commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers to ensure a secure and leak-free connection within the air braking network. This fitting adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and reliable performance. Its robust construction provides durability and long-lasting operation, and contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy is basically a connector. It lets you join two brake lines together that have different thread sizes. One side is a 5/8” male fitting – that’s a pretty standard size here – and the other side is M16x1.5, which is a metric size, common on some European and Asian vehicles. It’s a simple piece, but it needs to create a really solid, leakproof seal. It fits into your air brake system, specifically where you need to connect those different sized lines. Think of it like a translator between two different languages, allowing the air pressure to flow correctly. It’s usually found anywhere you’re joining sections of air line, maybe after a repair or if you’re adapting a system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, air brakes rely on consistent pressure. If this fitting leaks, even a tiny bit, it reduces that pressure and seriously impacts braking performance. It’s a safety thing, plain and simple. A leak could mean longer stopping distances, or even brake failure in a worst – case scenario. It acts like a shield, keeping the air where it needs to be. You’ll notice if one of these is failing usually because of a drop in air pressure – your gauges will tell you, or you might hear a hissing sound. We carry a lot of different sizes and materials, and you can also find these on a place like Fixparts Online. It’s one of those small parts that makes a big difference.
