Key Features & Benefits

This little guy’s job is pretty simple – it connects air brake hoses together. It’s a threaded fitting, so it screws into other components, creating a secure connection point. The o – ring seals everything up tight – think of it like a gasket, preventing air leaks. It’s a fairly basic part, but crucial for the system to work right. It’s part of your air brake system, specifically where the air lines connect to things like the air bags, the air dryer, or the brake chambers themselves. Anywhere you’ve got rubber air hose needing a solid connection, you’ll find these. It's a connector, basically, but one that has to hold pressure. They’re used all over the system, so you might have several of these to check.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is where things get real. Your air brakes depend on consistent air pressure. Any leak, even a small one, can reduce braking power. It's like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it – you lose pressure over time. You’ll notice if you’re losing air pressure – your gauges will drop, and you’ll probably hear a hissing sound near the fittings. Replacing a worn or damaged hose nipple with a new o – ring is a really inexpensive fix that can keep you safe on the road. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and they're generally pretty easy to swap out if you’re comfortable with basic brake system maintenance. Just make sure you get the right size thread for your application.
