Key Features & Benefits

Basically, this part takes the air pressure coming from your air compressor and splits it, sending it to different areas of the system – things like your brake chambers, the parking brake, even the air suspension if you have it. It’s really about managing that air flow, making sure each component gets what it needs, when it needs it. It has multiple ports, each directing air to a specific function. It’s a pretty simple device mechanically, but crucial for everything working right. Think of it as the central hub for your air brakes. The compressor builds the pressure, and this distributor is where that pressure gets distributed to actually do things – to stop the vehicle, hold it in place. It’s generally mounted somewhere fairly central in the vehicle, usually near the compressor, and connected to a network of air lines. It’s a key component in a system that doesn’t rely on hydraulics, so it handles everything pneumatic.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this thing fails, you’re going to have problems, and potentially serious ones. You’ll notice if one of the brake circuits stops working, or your parking brake won’t engage. It’s a safety item, plain and simple. A failing distributor can lead to reduced braking power, or even complete brake failure on one or more axles. It acts like a shield, protecting the rest of the system from potentially damaging pressure fluctuations. It’s something you don’t want to mess around with. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and making sure you get the right one for your make and model is the most important thing.
