Wabco 8995030402 Valve

Description

This Wabco valve is a critical component within air brake systems, responsible for controlling the flow of air to actuate the brakes. It is used in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers to ensure reliable and responsive braking performance. This valve meets OE specifications and offers precise control and durability, contributing to enhanced safety and system efficiency. It measures 10 x 9 x 20 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically manages air pressure in your air brake system. It has a couple of key jobs. Primarily, it prevents excessive pressure from building up – think of it as a safety release. It also makes sure air doesn't flow backwards, keeping things moving in the right direction. It’s got spring – loaded mechanisms inside that respond to pressure changes and open or close to regulate everything. This lives within your air brake system, specifically in the lines that feed the air tanks. It’s upstream from things like your air dryer and other sensitive components. It protects the whole system. It's not directly controlling the brakes themselves, but everything before the brakes, ensuring those parts aren't damaged by surges or reverse flow.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this valve fails, you could have serious issues. Too much pressure can damage other components, like your air dryer, potentially leading to leaks and ultimately brake failure. Reverse flow could contaminate the system with moisture or debris. You’ll notice if it’s going bad – things like inconsistent brake performance, the air compressor running constantly, or even a noticeable drop in air pressure. Getting this sorted quickly is crucial for safety. You can find a good replacement, including this one, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking for a reliable source. It's a relatively inexpensive part considering how important it is to keeping your whole air brake system functioning properly and, of course, keeping you safe on the road.
