Wabco 1835100534 Elbow Bracket

Description

The Wabco 1835100534 Baseplate, also known as an Elbow Bracket, is a crucial component within trailer air brake systems. Specifically, it’s used in trailer brake controls to provide a secure mounting point and facilitate proper functionality of the air brake system. This baseplate is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. It measures 8 x 140 x 391 mm, providing a robust and dimensionally precise solution for demanding applications.

Key Features & Benefits

This little bracket basically connects the air brake lines to the control valve on your trailer. It provides a solid mounting point, allowing those lines to move just enough without cracking or leaking. It’s a pretty simple piece, honestly – it holds things securely and directs the airflow where it needs to go. It supports the lines where they bend, preventing strain. Think of it as a key part of your trailer brake system. The air brake system, naturally, stops your trailer, and this bracket keeps the air getting to the brakes reliably. It’s right there where the air lines make a turn, so it keeps everything lined up and secure. Without it, those lines would be prone to damage and leaks.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s important because a leak in your air brake system is a serious safety issue. Even a small leak can reduce your braking power, and that's a problem you really want to avoid, especially when you’re hauling a trailer. This bracket acts like a shield, protecting the connections from vibration, road debris, and just general wear and tear. You’ll notice if one of these goes bad – usually you'll start to hear air hissing or see corrosion around the lines. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and they're fairly easy to replace if you're comfortable with basic brake system work. It's a small part, but it plays a big role in keeping you safe on the road.
