It's designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers where air brake functionality is essential. This Wabco stud, with MPN 8931022444, meets OE specifications, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance.

The stud's robust design and precise threading contribute to a leak-free and durable connection, enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These studs basically hold everything together in your air brake lines. They’re threaded on both ends, and they go through the fittings – things like air brake chambers, valves, and hoses – and then you tighten nuts on either side to create a really secure connection. They aren’t complex, but they’re crucial. They come in different lengths and thread sizes depending on what you're connecting, so getting the right one is important. Think of these studs as the backbone of your air brake connections. They provide the structural support. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to reliably connect the air lines that control your brakes. They handle the pressure from the air system, so they need to be strong and well – maintained. They’re part of a system that’s designed to stop a multi – ton vehicle, so everything needs to be top – notch.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, they’re vital for safety. If a stud fails, that fitting can come loose. That leads to air leaks, and air leaks mean reduced braking power. You’ll notice if you have a leaking stud pretty quickly - you’ll likely hear hissing, and your brakes will feel spongy. They act like a shield, keeping the pressurized air where it needs to be – working your brakes. Replacing a worn or damaged stud is cheap insurance compared to dealing with brake failure. We carry a wide selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it's always best to replace them in pairs when you're doing the work, just to be sure.
