Key Features & Benefits

This fitting basically connects sections of your air brake lines together. Think of it as a T – junction, but specifically designed for air brake systems. It accepts a plug – style connection on one end and has female threads to screw onto the air lines. It allows you to branch off the air supply to different components—like maybe going to the spring brakes or an auxiliary system. It's made to handle the compressed air that operates your brakes, so it needs to be really robust. It’s part of the entire air brake network. Those lines carry compressed air from the compressor to everything that needs it to stop your vehicle – the wheel cylinders, air bags, and so on. This fitting is just a specific connection point within that network, letting you split the air supply cleanly and safely. You'll find these particularly where you need to add an extra line without cutting and splicing the original.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, the air brake system is obviously critical for safety. If this fitting leaks, or if it fails completely, you lose air pressure and potentially lose braking ability. It acts like a shield, keeping that pressurized air contained. You’ll notice if one of these develops a leak – you’ll hear a hiss, or maybe see some oily residue around the connection. They’re made to withstand a lot of vibration and pressure, but over time they can corrode or become damaged. You can find replacements pretty easily, and Fixparts Online has a good selection of these fittings if you’re looking for one. It’s a relatively small part, but definitely not one you want to ignore if it’s faulty.
