When you’re hooking up a trailer for the day’s haul, you need brakes that work every time. A flip-flop trailer valve is the control valve that manages the brake air pressure between your tractor and trailer, making sure your trailer brakes engage properly when you need them most. This valve switches between different pressure settings depending on whether you’ve got a loaded trailer or you’re running empty.
What You’re Getting
- Reliable pressure switching that adapts to your load conditions
- Positive engagement that ensures trailer brakes respond when you hit the pedal
- Durable construction built to handle daily farm use and weather exposure
- Direct replacement design that mounts in your original valve location
Built for Real Farm Work
This valve works with a wide range of agricultural tractors that pull trailers with air brake systems. Whether you’re hauling grain to the elevator, moving hay from field to barn, or transporting equipment between job sites, this valve ensures your trailer brakes work in harmony with your tractor’s braking system.
Made to Last
Farm trailers get worked hard, and the brake valve takes its share of abuse from dust, moisture, and temperature swings. This valve is built with internal seals that maintain proper air pressure and external housing that resists corrosion from fertilizer spray and road salt.
Good to Know
Installation involves connecting the air lines and mounting the valve in place—usually a straightforward swap for the old unit. Test your brake system thoroughly after installation, checking that trailer brakes engage properly both loaded and empty. Keep spare air line fittings handy since they’re the most common wear items in the system.
