Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically joins three sections of air line together. Think of it like a ‘T’ intersection for air. It takes the airflow coming from one line, and splits it to feed two others. It’s a simple connection, but it needs to be airtight, obviously, since we're talking about brakes. They’re usually made of brass or plastic, and come in different sizes to match your existing air lines. It's part of the air brake system’s network. You’ll find these throughout the lines running to your air bags, or to the brake chambers themselves. They aren't something you see externally, they’re all hidden within the system, connecting the various components. It allows the compressed air to get where it needs to go to operate your brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's a critical part, honestly. If one of these couplings develops a leak, even a small one, it starts reducing the air pressure in the system. That can lead to slower braking, or in a worst – case scenario, complete brake failure. You’ll notice if you have a leaky one because you might hear a hissing sound, or your air compressor will be working overtime to maintain pressure. These are relatively inexpensive parts, and it’s always better to replace a suspect coupling than risk a problem with your brakes. We’ve got a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you want to take a look and find the right size for your setup. It's worth getting the right one to ensure a solid, leak – free connection.
