Wabco 1811100330 Midskirt 2000 Cut

Description

The Midskirt 2000 Cut is a critical component within trailer air brake systems, specifically designed for trailer brake controls. It's used to ensure proper functioning of the air brake system by providing structural support and maintaining clearances around the axles. This Wabco part, with MPN 1811100330, is cut at the bottom for higher clearance, exceeding 50mm at the axles, and is a direct OE specification replacement. The total length of this midskirt is 2.0 meters, contributing to its robust and reliable performance in demanding applications.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically controls how much air pressure gets sent to your trailer’s brakes when you apply your truck’s brakes. It's a valve that regulates the airflow. It has different ‘cuts’ – like 2000 – and that refers to how quickly it ramps up the braking force. A 2000 cut means it’s a fairly standard, responsive setup, good for most general hauling. It takes the signal from your brake pedal and translates it into a signal for the trailer’s air brakes. Think of it as a relay station. Your foot on the brake pedal creates air pressure, and this part takes that pressure and distributes it to the trailer brakes. It sits within your trailer’s air brake system, specifically controlling how fast those trailer brakes engage. It's a key part of making sure your truck and trailer stop safely together. It’s not something you see working, but you’ll definitely notice if it isn’t working.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s vital for safety. If this isn't functioning right, your trailer brakes might not apply correctly – they could be too weak, too strong, or delayed. That’s a recipe for trouble, especially with heavier loads. It essentially acts like a shield, protecting you from brake failures and keeping everything synchronized. If you’re experiencing issues with trailer braking – like uneven stopping, delayed response, or the trailer pushing the truck – this is a good place to start looking.
