It measures 2.5 meters in total length and is manufactured to OE specification.

Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically manages the air pressure going to your trailer brakes. It takes the signal from your truck's brake pedal and translates that into a signal to activate the trailer’s spring brakes if the air pressure drops too low – think of it like a safety net. It also releases those brakes when you want to move again, so it's a two – way street. It regulates the airflow, making sure everything is working smoothly. It’s part of the overall air brake system on a trailer, specifically handling the emergency and parking brake functions. It's installed on the trailer's air lines, and it’s what keeps the trailer from rolling away if you lose air pressure. It’s not something you directly control from the cab, it just reacts to the air system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, this is a safety component, plain and simple. If this fails, your trailer’s spring brakes could lock up unexpectedly, or worse, it might not engage at all when you need it to. You’ll notice if it’s failing—you might find your trailer brakes are sticking, or you’ll get a warning light indicating low air pressure. It's one of those things you really don't want to mess around with. We carry a lot of air brake parts at Fixparts Online, but this one especially, you want to make sure it’s working right. It acts like a shield, preventing runaway trailers. It's a relatively inexpensive part when you consider the trouble (and potential danger) it prevents.
