Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically just holds things together, but it does it securely. It’s a nut, so it fastens components – things like air lines, connectors, and fittings – in your air brake system. But it's a lock nut, which means it has a nylon insert – kind of like a built – in, flexible jam – that grips the threads of the bolt it goes on. It’s designed to resist vibration, so it doesn't loosen up with all the bouncing around your vehicle does. Think of your air brake system as a network of pipes and connections. This nut is one of the things keeping those connections tight and sealed. It’s most often found on air lines, where you’re connecting the rubber hose to a metal fitting. It prevents air leaks which are, obviously, really bad news when it comes to brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s a small part, but it’s super important for safety. If these nuts loosen, you get air leaks. Air leaks mean reduced braking power, and that can be a really dangerous situation. You’ll notice if you have a leak – usually a hissing sound, or your brakes just don't feel as strong as they should. It's a cheap piece to replace, and a lot less expensive than dealing with brake failure. You can find these lock nuts readily available online; Fixparts Online carries a good selection, and we can often get them shipped out same day. It’s definitely a part you don’t want to skimp on, and doing regular maintenance checking these nuts will save you headaches in the long run.
