Key Features & Benefits

A flange, in this case, is basically a connecting piece. It’s how you join sections of air line together, creating a secure, airtight seal. Think of it like a collar that clamps two pipes firmly together. It's usually a metal ring with bolt holes, so you can tighten everything down. They come in different sizes and materials depending on the air system. On a trailer with air brakes, these flanges are a crucial part of the whole air delivery network. They’re used all over the system, connecting the air compressor to the reservoir, the reservoir to the brake chambers, and so on. It's a key element in getting pressurized air where it needs to be, which, of course, is to activate the trailer's brakes. It’s not a glamorous part, but it’s essential.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, air brakes rely entirely on airtight connections. If even one flange leaks, you lose air pressure, and that affects braking power. It acts like a shield, keeping the air where it's supposed to be. You’ll notice if you have a leaking flange – you’ll probably hear a hiss of air, and eventually your trailer's brakes won’t work as well as they should. That’s a serious safety concern. We carry a pretty wide range of these at Fixparts Online, different sizes to fit different setups. It’s always a good idea to replace them when you're doing other maintenance on the air brake lines, just as a preventative measure.
