Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically creates a sealed connection in your air brake lines. It’s a threaded fitting—that “M14x1.5” tells you the size of the thread—and it plugs into a corresponding fitting to allow air to flow through the system. Think of it like a doorway for the compressed air that runs your brakes. It’s designed to be securely connected, and then disconnected for servicing if needed, that's what the ‘plug – in’ part means. It's part of your air brake system, which, as you probably know, is how air pressure is used to apply the brakes on larger vehicles, especially trucks, buses, and trailers. It’s usually found connecting sections of air lines—so things like the air reservoir to the brake chambers, or sections of the supply line. You'll find these connections throughout the entire air system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your air brakes rely on absolutely tight seals. If this connector leaks—and you’ll notice if it does, because your air compressor will be running more to compensate—you lose braking power. It’s that simple. It acts like a shield, protecting the integrity of the air pressure. A leak, even a small one, can seriously impact your ability to stop. That’s why keeping these in good shape, and replacing them if they’re damaged or corroded, is essential for safety. You can find these, and a lot of other air brake parts, at places like Fixparts Online if you’re doing a repair yourself. It's a small part, but it plays a really big role.
