Wabco 8935010064 Bulkhead

Description

The Wabco 8935010064 T-Bulkhead is a critical component within air brake systems, functioning as a connecting fitting. It's used in the construction of air brake lines to ensure secure and leak-proof connections, primarily within commercial vehicles and heavy machinery. This bulkhead is manufactured to OE specification, delivering a precise fit and reliable performance that meets or exceeds industry standards. Its dimensions are 22 x 34 x 45 mm, ensuring compatibility with existing air brake infrastructure and contributing to consistent brake system operation.

Key Features & Benefits

These fittings basically connect air lines running through a metal panel – that panel could be the frame rail, a chassis crossmember, even the body of the vehicle. They create a sealed connection where the line passes through, preventing air leaks. They’re designed to hold pressure, obviously, and have threads on both sides – one part screws onto the fitting itself, and the other side connects to the air line coming from your compressor or other components. Think of it as a doorway for your air lines. Your air brake system relies on consistent pressure throughout, and these bulkheads are where those lines need to pass through structural parts of the vehicle to get where they need to go. You’ll find them connecting things like the air supply line to the brake chambers, or linking the compressor to the reservoirs. They are a crucial part of keeping everything connected and airtight.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Air leaks in a brake system are a big deal, naturally. Even a small leak can reduce braking power, and that’s something you absolutely want to avoid. A bulkhead acts like a shield, making sure that pressurized air stays inside the lines where it belongs. You’ll notice if one starts failing because you’ll likely hear a hissing sound, or maybe even see moisture around the fitting. They're generally pretty reliable, but over time, corrosion or vibration can cause them to loosen or crack. If you’re doing any work on your air lines, it's a good idea to inspect these. You can find a good selection of them at places like Fixparts Online, and they're usually pretty straightforward to replace.
