Strato Inc.: Wafer Flange Assembly with Perpendicular Test Port

The Strato wafer flange assembly is available in various configurations. The WFC version has a test port that runs perpendicular to the direction of the brake cylinder pipe. The products allow taking direct readings of the air-brake cylinder pressure using the built-in quick disconnect port. The assemblies provide permanent, leak-proof fitting installation, the company says. A pressure tap kit can be installed, permitting remote readings. All configurations are suitable for cars with and without empty load devices. Products are stock items and are available for shipment as needed.
