Wabco 9347050242 Valve Kit

Description

This Wabco Valve Kit (MPN: 9347050242) is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically functioning as a protection valve. It is designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the braking system. This kit adheres to OE specifications, providing a direct replacement for original equipment. With dimensions of 165 x 130 x 120 mm, it offers a precise fit and restores optimal performance, contributing to enhanced safety and system longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically contains a few different valves – a check valve, a shuttle valve, and usually a relief valve. The check valve lets air flow one way, preventing it from flowing back the other direction. The shuttle valve lets the system know which circuit has air pressure - kind of like a traffic director. The relief valve, as the name suggests, releases excess pressure. All of these work together to keep everything running smoothly and safely. Think of this kit as part of the safety net for your air brakes. It’s installed within the air lines and protects the entire system from pressure surges, reverse flow, and potential failures in individual circuits. It’s usually positioned between the air compressor, the reservoirs, and the brake chambers. It makes sure the air gets where it needs to go, when it needs to go, and doesn't overpressurize anything.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This kit is seriously important for a few reasons. It prevents air from flowing backward which can cause brake failure, and it protects the system from getting damaged by too much pressure. If one of the circuits fails, this kit helps isolate it, so you don’t lose all braking ability. You’ll notice if this starts to fail because you might get a low air warning, or the brakes may not apply evenly. It’s a critical component for maintaining safe stopping power. You can find complete kits, or individual valves if needed, places like Fixparts Online. Keeping this stuff in good shape means keeping you and your cargo safe on the road.
