Wabco 8931811844 M22 to M16 Reducing Adapter

Description

The Wabco 8931811844 Reducing Adaptor connects M22 to M16 threads within air brake systems. This adapter is a crucial component used in air line connections, enabling compatibility between different sized components. It's dimensions are 27 x 20 x 27 mm. This adapter is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and a secure connection within the air brake system, and maximizing the efficiency of the braking process.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically does exactly what it sounds like – it connects two different sized air brake lines. You've got an air line with an M22 thread, and you need to connect it to something with an M16 thread. It “reduces” the size of the connection, letting those two pieces work together. It's a simple connection fitting, really. This lives within your air brake system, specifically where lines need to join. Usually it's near the air compressor, air dryer, or where individual air lines branch off to control things like your brakes, suspension, or other air – powered components. It’s not something you’d see often unless you’re actively working on the system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, air brake systems need to be completely sealed to work properly. If you try to force a smaller line into a larger opening, or vice versa, you'll get leaks. This adapter ensures a tight, secure connection, preventing air loss. Air loss weakens braking power and can even make your brakes fail. Think of it as a little barrier, it acts like a shield against air escaping where it shouldn't. You’ll notice if you have a leak, usually as a hissing sound or a drop in your air pressure gauge. We often have these in stock at Fixparts Online, and it’s a pretty straightforward replacement if yours is damaged or corroded. It’s a small part, but a really crucial one for safety.
