Key Features & Benefits

This little piece basically manages the air pressure going to your trailer brakes. It’s a control valve, specifically a service and emergency relay valve combined into one unit. It takes the air signal from your truck's brake pedal and relays it to the trailer brakes, controlling how hard they apply. It also handles the emergency brake application if you yank the red emergency handle in the cab or lose air pressure in the system. Think of it as the central nervous system for your trailer’s braking. It sits between the air lines running from your truck and the brakes on the trailer. It receives the signal from your foot on the brake pedal, then amplifies and sends that signal to activate the trailer's brakes. It's crucial for safe towing, because without it, your trailer isn't going to stop when you do.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, it's a big safety item. If this fails, you could have reduced braking power on your trailer, or even a complete loss of trailer brakes. You’ll notice if it's going bad – things like longer stopping distances, the trailer feeling like it's pushing you, or just generally not feeling secure when you brake. It acts like a shield, protecting you from a potentially dangerous situation. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and it’s a fairly common replacement item, especially if you haul regularly. Replacing it proactively is a lot cheaper—and safer—than dealing with brake failure on the road.
