Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically splits an air line into two. Think of it like a fork in the road for the compressed air that runs your brakes. It allows the air pressure to feed multiple components from a single line – things like brake chambers, or even other sections of the air system. It's a simple part, but it needs to create a secure, airtight connection. It's a critical component within your air brake lines. Those lines deliver the compressed air needed to apply your brakes. The T connector sits in those lines, connecting everything together. It’s not something you'll see from the outside, it's all tucked away within the system. It’s part of what allows your brakes to work consistently and safely.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this fails, you’ll have an air leak. Even a small leak can reduce your braking power over time. It acts like a shield, keeping the air pressure where it needs to be. You’ll notice if one of these goes bad because you might get a warning light, or you’ll feel a difference in how the brakes respond – maybe they feel spongy, or take longer to engage. It's a small part, but absolutely vital for safety. You can find these pretty easily; we stock a lot of air brake fittings, and a place like Fixparts Online has a good selection too. Make sure you get the right size and thread type for your system.
