Key Features & Benefits

It basically connects air brake hoses together. It’s how you join sections of the air line – think of it like a coupling. It has threads on the outside that screw into a fitting on the hose, and it creates a sealed connection. They come in different sizes, generally based on the diameter of the hose they're designed for. It's part of the air brake system, obviously. The whole system relies on pressurized air to apply the brakes. The nozzles are just one of the components that keeps that air where it needs to be – getting to the brake chambers. It’s a small piece, but it’s in a critical line. Without a good connection here, you lose air pressure.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, losing air pressure in a brake system isn’t good, obviously. It can reduce your stopping power, and that’s a safety issue. A leaky or damaged nozzle means you're losing precious air. You'll notice if you start hearing air escaping, or if your brakes feel spongy or slow to respond. It acts like a shield, keeping the air contained. They can corrode over time, or the rubber seals can dry out and crack. If you’re doing brake work, it’s a good idea to inspect these and replace any that look worn. Fixparts Online has a good selection if you need to order one, and they're pretty straightforward to swap out.
