Key Features & Benefits

This little guy is basically a quick – release valve for your trailer’s air brakes. It handles the air pressure going to the brakes when you need to slow down or stop. More specifically, it lets the air out of the brake chambers faster than the standard system would, giving you a quicker brake application. It also helps prevent overtravel – meaning it stops the brakes from locking up completely and dragging. It sits in the air line running to the trailer brakes, usually mounted near the mid – point of the trailer’s frame – hence the “midskirt” name. It’s part of the whole air brake control system, working alongside your emergency spring brakes and other components. It’s really designed for situations where you need a really fast response from the trailer brakes, especially with heavier loads.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a functioning Prim R, you’ll notice if you’re trying to make a quick stop, especially if you’re hauling a substantial weight. The trailer won’t respond as quickly as it should, and that can definitely increase your stopping distance. It's a safety item, plain and simple. It acts like a shield against brake drag and helps ensure your trailer brakes engage firmly and reliably when you need them. A lot of folks find the parts they need at places like Fixparts Online, if you’re looking for a reliable source. Replacing it when it’s worn out keeps things running smoothly and safely.
