The dimensions of this T-Connector are 20 x 30 x 70 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece essentially splits an air line into two. Think of it like a highway split – air comes in one line, and this connector lets it go down two different paths. It's got a male stud on each end to screw into the air lines and the T shape is where the split happens. They’re made to handle the pressurized air that runs your brakes, so it needs to be solid. It's part of the network that gets air to different parts of your braking system. You'll find these used to feed air to things like the air bags on your suspension, or maybe splitting the line to activate brakes on different axles. It’s a pretty fundamental component in keeping everything connected and working as one.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, air brakes rely on airtight connections. If this connector leaks, or cracks, or fails, you lose air pressure to those brakes and that's obviously a serious safety issue. You’ll notice if one of these fails because your brakes might feel spongy, you might have trouble getting full braking power, or you could even have warning lights come on. It acts like a shield, making sure the pressurized air stays where it needs to be. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, but honestly, the brand isn’t as important as making sure it’s rated for the right air pressure and is properly installed. It's a small part, but it plays a big role in keeping you safe out there.
