Key Features & Benefits

This little guy essentially manages the air pressure going to the trailer brakes when you’re swapping trailer bodies – think flatbeds, dump beds, whatever you’re changing out. It has a manual lever that lets you isolate the air lines to the trailer while you’re doing the swap. It also has a spring – loaded return so it automatically goes back to normal operation when you’re ready to go. It’s got ports for both the supply and emergency lines – that’s important for safety. This fits into the air brake system, specifically on trailers that have interchangeable bodies. It’s usually mounted near where the air lines connect to the trailer, so it’s easily accessible. It's the bridge between your truck’s air system and the trailer brakes when you need to work on the trailer itself. It prevents the trailer brakes from accidentally activating when you don't want them to, while you’re making changes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without this, you’re running the risk of those trailer brakes locking up unexpectedly during a swap – that’s a safety hazard for you and anyone around. It also protects the brake system itself from getting damaged. It acts like a shield, preventing unwanted pressure from messing things up. You’ll notice if this thing fails – the trailer brakes may not respond properly, or they might engage when they shouldn't. It’s a relatively inexpensive part that keeps everything running smoothly and, more importantly, safely. You can find these pretty easily, even online – Fixparts Online carries them if you’re looking for a source. It's definitely one of those things you want to keep in good working order.
