Wabco 8938030430 Push-In Coupling

Description

The Wabco 8938030430 Push-In Coupling is a critical component used within air brake systems to connect tubing, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. This coupling is commonly found in commercial vehicles and trailers where reliable air brake function is paramount. Engineered to OE specification, this coupling delivers exceptional durability and performance, simplifying installation and maintenance while maximizing system efficiency. It measures 20 x 36 x 22 mm and features a M14 x 1.5 thread and accepts 10 x 1.25 tubing.

Key Features & Benefits

These couplings basically connect sections of air brake line together. They do exactly what they sound like – you push the lines into them and they create an airtight seal. They’re designed for quick, easy connections and disconnections, much simpler than threading everything. They handle the compressed air that runs your brakes, so it's all about secure, leak – free connections. Think of it like a link in a chain. Your whole air brake system relies on pressurized air getting from the compressor to the brake chambers at each wheel. This coupling is one of those connections that keeps that air flowing. You’ll find them throughout the air lines, connecting various components like the compressor, air dryer, reservoirs, and ultimately, to the brakes themselves.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if one of these leaks, or comes apart, you lose air pressure. That’s a big deal with air brakes. You’ll notice if you start losing pressure because your gauge will drop and you might even hear a hiss. Losing air pressure means reduced braking power, and that's obviously dangerous. These couplings are designed to be really reliable and prevent those leaks. They act like a shield against air escaping. You can find these pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and replacing a faulty one is usually a straightforward job. They're a small part, but a critical one for safety.
