This Wabco Male Fitting is a component used within Air Brake Systems to connect air lines and provide a secure connection point. It's designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers where reliable air brake functionality is critical. This fitting meets OE specifications, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. It features dimensions of 15 x 17 x 19 mm and a thread size of M14 x 1.5, accommodating a tube diameter of Ø 8. The wrench size is 17.0 mm. This fitting, simply put, connects air lines together. It’s the piece that actually goes into another fitting – that's where the "male" part comes from, like a plug. It creates an airtight seal so the compressed air that operates your brakes can travel where it needs to go. It typically uses an O – ring or a similar sealing component to make that connection secure. Think of your air brake system as the heart of stopping power for a lot of bigger vehicles – trucks, buses, trailers. This fitting is just one small, but critical, component within that whole system. It’s used throughout the air lines that run from the compressor, to the air tanks, and then to the brake chambers themselves. It’s a connection point, plain and simple. You'll find them at various places where air lines need to join – maybe where a supply line branches off to a different part of the system, or where a sensor connects in. Well, if this fitting fails, air leaks. Air leaks in an air brake system are a big deal. They reduce braking power, obviously, and can lead to brake failure. It acts like a shield preventing that loss of pressure. You’ll notice if you have a leak – either a hissing sound, or the air compressor will be running much more often trying to maintain the correct pressure. They're generally pretty robust, but vibration, corrosion, and just age can cause them to fail. We carry a good selection of these – you can find them on Fixparts Online if you’re looking, and it's always smart to replace these when you're doing other air brake work to avoid issues down the road. Long-term solution: Male Fitting (MPN 8930701044) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
