Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically converts the motion of your brake pedal into air pressure. It's like a valve that slides back and forth, controlling how much air goes into the brake chambers on your trailer. It regulates the air flow – more slide movement, more air, stronger brakes. It also has a release function, letting air out of the system when you take your foot off the brake. It's responsible for both applying and releasing the trailer brakes. Think of it as a crucial link between what you do in the truck cab and what's happening with the trailer brakes. Without it working right, you can't effectively control the trailer. It fits inside the brake chamber assembly, and it’s a key component for making sure the trailer stops when you expect it to. It's not something you directly see, it's internal to the system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, safety is number one, naturally. If this thing fails, you could lose your trailer braking ability. That's a big deal, obviously. You’ll notice if it's going bad usually with a soft or spongy brake pedal feel, or if the trailer isn't stopping as quickly or consistently as it should. It can also cause the trailer to pull to one side during braking. It really acts like a shield protecting you from a runaway trailer, so you want to be sure it’s functioning properly. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it's often something you can replace yourself if you're comfortable with basic brake work. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace compared to the cost of ignoring a brake problem.
