Wabco 8938513900 Male Stud Tee Coupling

Description

The Wabco 8938513900 Male Stud Tee Coupling is a critical component within air brake systems, designed to connect air lines securely. It's commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers to ensure reliable brake function. This coupling facilitates a strong and leak-proof connection, contributing to improved safety and performance in pneumatic brake applications. Measuring 22 x 28 x 53 mm, this component is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing compatibility and durability.

Key Features & Benefits

This little part connects three sections of air line together. Think of it like a Y – splitter for air instead of water, but it's built to handle the pressure of your air brakes. It’s got a male threaded stud on one end – that screws into a component – and then it branches off into two female openings for connecting the air lines. It's a fairly simple piece, but critical for making solid, airtight connections. You’ll find these throughout your air brake system, basically anywhere you need to split an air line or connect multiple lines together. They're often used in the supply line where the air compressor feeds air to the brakes, or in the control lines going to the valves and actuators. They’re essential for distributing compressed air where it needs to go to operate your brakes properly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This might seem like a small thing, but it's seriously important for safety. Air brakes rely on airtight connections. A leak, even a small one, can reduce braking power and that’s obviously dangerous. This coupling, when properly installed, acts like a shield against leaks. You’ll notice if one of these starts to fail, because you'll probably hear an air leak when the system is charged, or your brakes might feel spongy. If you're doing brake work, replacing these as a matter of course is a good preventative measure.
