Wabco 1835500784 Protection Cover

Description

The Wabco 1835500784 Protection Cover is a crucial component within trailer brake controls, specifically designed for air brake systems. It safeguards sensitive parts from environmental factors and potential damage. This cover is built to OE specification, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance. Measuring 45 x 100 x 125 mm, it offers robust protection while maintaining system functionality.

Key Features & Benefits

This cover basically shields the air brake control valve—the part that actually applies and releases the trailer brakes—from dirt, debris, and the elements. It’s a pretty simple piece, usually just a durable plastic or metal cap that fits right over the valve. It keeps out water, road salt, and generally anything that could corrode or damage the sensitive parts inside. Some have little vent holes, but they’re designed to still keep the bulk of the crud out. Think of it as armor for a really important part. The brake control valve is obviously key to safely stopping your trailer, and it’s often exposed right underneath the vehicle. This cover sits right over it, protecting it from the stuff kicked up by your tires and other vehicles on the road. It’s not directly involved in making the brakes work, but it’s crucial for keeping everything able to work.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Because those valves aren’t cheap to replace! And more importantly, brake failure is obviously a serious safety hazard. A little bit of prevention with this cover can save you a lot of headaches—and money—down the road. You’ll notice if a cover is missing or cracked – things will start looking pretty rusty under there. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, different sizes and materials to fit most setups. It's a small part, but it does a big job keeping your trailer brakes reliable.
