Wabco 1811100020 Midskirt 2700R

Description

The Midskirt 2700 R is a critical component within trailer air brake systems, specifically designed for trailer brake controls. It's utilized to connect and protect air lines and components in these systems. This Wabco part, with MPN 1811100020, is engineered to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. The total length of the midskirt is 2.7 meters. This design enhances system durability, minimizes potential damage from road debris, and contributes to overall braking efficiency and safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This part is essentially a protective cover for the trailer's air brake chamber and some of the related airlines. It's a pretty simple component, but it shields those parts from road debris, water, salt, and just general crud that gets kicked up while you're driving. It helps keep everything clean and working properly underneath there. It’s usually made from a durable rubber or plastic. Think of it like a shield for vital brake components. It doesn't do the braking, but it protects the parts that do. It mounts onto the side of the trailer, covering that lower section around the brake chambers. It's specific to certain brake chamber sizes and trailer setups, which is why you have the 2700R designation there – it’s designed to fit a particular setup.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This might seem like a small thing, but it’s a really good preventative maintenance item. If those brake chambers and lines get constantly bombarded with stuff from the road, it’s going to accelerate wear and tear. You’ll notice if a midskirt is missing or damaged because things get dirty quickly, and you might start seeing corrosion on those parts. Replacing it is a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with brake issues down the road. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it's something you can usually tackle yourself if you're reasonably handy.
