Trailer park brake valve

What is a trailer park brake valve? This part is really important especially if you want to have an exciting adventure in an RV or trailer. The VIT trailer control valve is an important component that helps your RV or trailer stay put when you're parked. It protects you from dange and accidents on the road. This article is about the importance of a trailer park brake valve, its internal mechanisms, common issues, selecting the right type for your vehicle, and safety tips for usage. 

Whenever you hit the road in your RV, trailer, or camper, your number one concern needs to be staying safe. You must ensure the safety of not only yourself, but also of everyone around you while driving. The trailer park brake valve is an important component of your braking system. Its primary function is to ensure that your RV or trailer does not roll away when you are parked. Activating the brake valve locks your brakes in a stationary position, preventing your RV or trailer from rolling. That way, you can sit back and have fun without having to think about what your car would do if it started rolling downhill. It allows you and others to be safer, which is the biggest priority! 

Key Components and How They Work

As you park your RV or trailer, the spring loaded plunger snaps the valve into a locked position. This action sets off the air pressure chamber that releases the compressed air required to activate brakes. With this VIT trailer spring brake valve, your RV or trailer tends to remain stationary, which helps prevent accidents. Just a like strong assistant keeping your car secured while you park it! 

You will have to replace the diaphragm if you find an air leak. If the plunger is stuck, it could require replacing the entire valve to ensure it functions properly. Finally, if the valve is stuck due to dirt or corrosion, you may be able to solve this by cleaning it or adding a lubricant to allow it to move freely once again. You can prevent these problems from becoming serious with regular checks!
