Wabco 1811100120 Midskirt 2500 R

Description

The Wabco Midskirt 2500 R is a critical component within trailer air brake systems, specifically designed for trailer brake controls. It's mounted on the right side of the trailer and ensures optimal brake performance and stability during operation. This device adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and reliable function. The Midskirt 2500 R boasts a total length of 2.5 meters, contributing to its robust and effective design. It provides enhanced durability and responsiveness, maximizing safety and control for commercial vehicle applications.

Key Features & Benefits

This part’s basically a housing, a really tough one, for your trailer’s brake modulator valve. The modulator valve itself is what actually controls the air pressure going to your trailer brakes, and the Midskirt 2500 R protects it from road grime, water, rocks, and just general abuse from being underneath the trailer. It's designed to bolt right onto that valve, creating a sealed environment. Think of it as armor for a vital component. It physically shields the modulator valve from impact and the elements. It’s part of the air brake system on trailers, so it’s not something you’d find on a typical passenger car. It’s specifically for heavier duty trailers using air brakes—usually commercial or equipment trailers.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If that modulator valve gets damaged, your trailer brakes can malfunction, and that's a serious safety issue. This Midskirt acts like a shield, greatly reducing the chances of damage. You’ll notice if this thing gets cracked or broken—it’s usually pretty obvious visually. Plus, if you start getting air leaks around the valve, that’s a good sign the Midskirt isn't doing its job anymore. You can find these pretty easily; a lot of places carry them, including Fixparts Online, if you’re looking for a source. Replacing it is a relatively straightforward job, and definitely cheaper than fixing a brake failure.
