Wabco 1811100660 Midskirt 1400 R

Description

The Midskirt 1400 R is a crucial component within trailer air brake systems, specifically designed for trailer brake controls. It's mounted on the right side of the trailer. This Wabco part, with MPN 1811100660, ensures optimal functionality and durability by adhering to original equipment (OE) specifications. Measuring 1.4 meters in total length, the Midskirt 1400 R enhances system performance and extends the lifespan of braking components through its precise engineering and high-quality construction.

Key Features & Benefits

This part is essentially a protective cover for the trailer’s air lines and electrical wiring that run along the underside, between the tractor and trailer. It’s a long, flexible piece, typically made of a durable rubber or plastic. It doesn't do anything in terms of braking itself, but it keeps everything neatly bundled and safe from road debris, water, salt, and just general wear and tear. It’s got channels built into it for both the air hoses and the electrical cable – sometimes it’s a single unit, sometimes separate sections that connect. Think of it like a backbone for all the connections between your tractor and trailer. It keeps those vital lines from flapping around, getting snagged, or being damaged by things kicked up off the road. It hangs down underneath, so it takes a beating. It's part of the trailer’s air brake system support, even though it doesn't actually perform any braking.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if those air lines get damaged, you lose air pressure to your trailer brakes – and that's a serious safety issue. A damaged electrical cable can knock out your trailer lights and ABS. The midskirt protects them, plain and simple. You’ll notice if yours is failing; it’ll start cracking, tearing, or sections might come loose. It gets constantly flexed with turns and road movement, so it’s a wear item. We carry a good selection of these, including the 1400 R, and you can often find what you need quickly at Fixparts Online. Replacing it before it completely fails is a smart move to avoid bigger headaches down the road.
