Description

The Wabco 8915030534 is an M16x1.5 nut used in air brake systems for securing fittings. This component is an OE specification part designed to provide a secure and reliable connection within the air brake infrastructure. Its M16 x 1.5 thread and 22.0 mm wrench size ensure compatibility and ease of installation, contributing to the overall safety and performance of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This nut basically just fastens things together, sounds simple right? But it’s specifically for your air brake system fittings. It’s a metric size – that "M16x1.5" tells you it's 16 millimeters across and has a 1.5mm thread pitch. It secures components like air lines, valves, and other fittings within the system. It provides a strong, reliable connection that can handle the pressure the air brake system generates. Think of your air brake system as needing really solid connections. These nuts are a key part of that. They’re used throughout the air lines, holding everything together so the air pressure gets where it needs to go—to your brakes. It's not a part you’ll typically see, it’s all tucked away within the system itself.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is one of those parts where failing isn’t an option. If one of these nuts comes loose or fails, you could lose air pressure to a brake chamber. You’ll notice if you're losing air because your brakes won’t apply properly, or might drag. It acts like a shield, keeping air where it belongs. A leak can compromise your entire braking ability, which, obviously, is pretty serious. You can find these at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s always best to replace these when you’re working on the air brake system – don’t risk using something old or corroded.
