Key Features & Benefits

This plug basically seals off an opening in your air brake line when you disconnect something – like a supply line or a control line. It keeps air from leaking out, and keeps dirt and moisture from getting in. It’s a simple part, but it needs to create a tight, airtight connection. They’re usually threaded, so you screw it in snug. Think of your air brake system as a circulatory system for your truck’s stopping power. This plug is used whenever you need to open up a line for maintenance or repair. It temporarily seals that break in the system so everything else continues to work as it should. It’s not something that’s constantly in the system actively braking, it’s more of a temporary fix during service.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Leaks in your air brake system are serious business. Even a small leak can reduce your braking efficiency, which obviously isn’t something you want, especially with a heavy vehicle. This plug acts like a shield, preventing air loss when a line is open. You’ll notice if you’re losing air pressure – your gauges will drop, and the brakes might feel spongy. Keeping a few of these on hand is smart preventative maintenance, and you can find them pretty easily. Fixparts Online carries a good selection, if you're looking. It’s a small part, but it plays a big role in keeping you safe on the road.
