This design enhances operational safety and reliability by optimizing air flow and reducing potential obstructions. It measures 2.2 meters in total length.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically manages the air signal going to your trailer brakes. It’s a relay valve, splitting the air pressure and sending it to both sides of the trailer axle. It allows for balanced braking – making sure both wheels stop at roughly the same time. It also has a “cut – out” feature – the “2200” refers to a PSI rating – so if there's a major air loss on one side of the trailer, it isolates that side to prevent complete brake failure. It’s all about redundancy and safe stopping. Think of it as a traffic cop for the air going to your trailer brakes. The main air line comes in, and this part directs that air where it needs to go, ensuring each brake chamber gets the right amount of pressure. It’s a critical component in the air brake system, specifically on the trailer side. It’s usually mounted close to the trailer axles, hence the “midskirt” name – it’s tucked in there near the undercarriage.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s honestly a big safety thing. If this part fails, you’ll notice if you're driving – one side of your trailer might pull hard to one side when you brake, or the trailer might feel unstable. It prevents one wheel from locking up while the other doesn’t respond, which is a really dangerous situation. It essentially acts like a shield, protecting you from a complete brake failure on one axle. You can find these pretty easily, we often stock them at Fixparts Online, and it’s something you definitely want to keep in good working order.
