Key Features & Benefits

This little piece—it’s actually a rotating coupling—connects the air lines running along the side of your trailer. It allows the air lines to move and flex as the trailer and tractor unit turn and go over bumps, without kinking or disconnecting. It essentially passes air from the tractor’s brake system to the trailer brakes. It spins, so the air lines don’t get twisted up. Think of it as a vital joint in the brake line system. Without it, your trailer brakes wouldn’t consistently get the air pressure they need to work properly. It’s positioned along the midskirt – that's the section along the side of the trailer, right about halfway up – hence the name. It’s not something you see easily, it's tucked away doing its job.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this thing fails, you’ll notice if your trailer brakes are acting up – maybe they’re slow to apply, or they don’t release evenly. That's a big safety concern, of course. A broken or seized Rot R can cause inconsistent braking, putting a lot of stress on the whole system, and even lead to brake failure. It’s a relatively small part, but it has a big job, and it’s one you really don’t want to ignore. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and it's something a lot of guys like to keep a spare of, especially if they're doing a lot of mileage.
