Key Features & Benefits

This little fitting basically connects the air brake control module to the air lines in your system. It's a connection point, a place where the lines physically attach and seal. It's designed to handle the air pressure your brakes need, and it’s usually a pretty simple, but critical, piece. It also sometimes includes a dampener to reduce vibration. Think of your air brake system like a network of pipes and valves, all working together to stop your vehicle. This fitting is just one small part of that network, but it’s where key information travels. The control module itself is the "brain" that manages things, and this fitting is how it “talks” to the rest of the system. Without a secure connection here, the module can’t properly regulate the air pressure going to your brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, it’s one of those things you’ll notice if it fails. If it cracks, leaks, or comes loose, you’ll likely get a drop in air pressure, which can affect your braking performance. It acts like a shield, keeping air and moisture out of the control module, and keeping the air in the brake lines. A failing fitting could mean longer stopping distances, or even complete brake failure in severe cases. It’s a small part, but it’s a vital safety component. You can find these pretty easily—we stock a lot of different sizes and types, and Fixparts Online is a good place to check for what you need, too. It's a pretty straightforward fix, usually, but getting the right fitting is key.
