Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically splits an air line into two, so you can run air to multiple components. Think of it like a Y in a water hose—it takes one line and lets you feed two. The locknut? That secures the fitting tightly onto the air line, prevents leaks, and keeps everything connected under pressure. It’s a threaded connection, and the nut locks it all in place. This is used in your air brake system, specifically to connect the various parts that make your brakes work. It could be connecting the main air reservoir to your brake chambers, or splitting the line to a trailer supply line if you’re towing something. It’s a small part, but it’s part of a big, important network. You’ll find these throughout the air system, wherever lines need to be joined or split.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, the air brake system relies on everything being sealed. Air leaks can cause all sorts of problems – reduced braking power, slow response, or even complete brake failure. This tee and its locknut act like a shield, making sure that air gets where it needs to go, and stays there. You’ll notice if one of these starts to leak – either a hissing sound, or the brakes might feel spongy. It’s a relatively inexpensive part, and fixing it now is a lot cheaper and safer than dealing with brake issues down the road. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting the right size and thread is key. You want to make sure it matches what you’re replacing.
