Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically lets you hook up a gauge to your air brake system to check the compressor’s performance. It provides a secure connection point, so you can accurately measure the air pressure being built up and maintained. It’s a threaded fitting, usually brass, designed to withstand the pressure of the system. Think of it as a diagnostic point for your air brakes. It's usually located somewhere accessible on the air compressor itself or nearby, allowing a technician to test if the compressor is working as it should. It’s how they confirm the system is charging up properly and holding pressure. It's part of the larger air brake network that, of course, controls your trailer or truck's braking.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your air brakes are vital for safety. If the compressor isn’t building enough pressure, or if it’s leaking, your brakes won't work reliably. This test connection is how you determine if there's a problem with the compressor itself. You’ll notice if the brakes are slow to engage, or if you're constantly needing to refill the system. Ignoring this can lead to serious brake failure, so it’s important to keep it in good shape. It's a small part, but it plays a big role in keeping you safe on the road. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a fresh one is much cheaper than a brake repair down the line.
