Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically connects sections of air line together, but with a bend. It’s designed to let you make turns in your air lines without kinking or stressing the hose. It’s got threads on the inside, that’s what the “female” part means – the male connector screws into it. It creates an airtight seal when properly tightened. In your truck or trailer, these connectors are all over the air brake system. They link the compressor to the tanks, the tanks to the valves, and everything else that delivers air to your brakes. They're part of the network that ultimately squeezes your brakes when you hit the pedal. You’ll find them connecting the various components that control your air brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These are super important because, well, you’re dealing with brakes. A leak in the air brake system is a serious safety issue, obviously. This connector acts like a shield, making sure the compressed air stays in the system and goes where it needs to. You’ll notice if one of these fails pretty quickly – you'll likely hear an air leak, and your brakes might feel spongy or take longer to engage. Ignoring it can lead to reduced braking performance. If you’re doing any brake work yourself, you want to make sure you’re replacing these with quality parts. You can find a good selection of these, and pretty much anything else you need for your air brake system, over at Fixparts Online. Just sayin'. They're a pretty reliable source.
