Current Queue: Little To No Wait

Brake valves are the control center of a trailer’s air brake system, playing a critical role in regulating the flow of compressed air to the individual brakes. Whether it’s controlling the rate of air pressure buildup during braking, enabling the release of brakes when needed, or maintaining consistent pressure to prevent skidding, brake valves are at the heart of maintaining trailer safety and efficiency.

Common Reasons for Brake Valve Failures

Corrosion and Rust

Exposure to moisture, road salt, and environmental contaminants can lead to corrosion on the surface of brake valve components. Corrosion can weaken these components over time, potentially leading to leaks or reduced functionality.

Physical Damage

Brake valves are vulnerable to damage from road debris, impacts, or rough handling during maintenance procedures. Physical damage can result in cracks, fractures, or misalignment, leading to valve failure.

Excessive Heat

Brake valves are often located in areas subject to high temperatures from the engine or exhaust components. Prolonged exposure to excessive heat can cause damage to valve diaphragms, seals, and other internal parts, leading to failure.

Age and WeaR

Like all mechanical components, brake valves have a finite lifespan. As they age, materials may deteriorate, and moving parts can wear, increasing the risk of failure.

Contaminants

Foreign debris, such as dirt, dust, or debris from the road, can enter the valve assembly. These contaminants can interfere with the proper operation of the valves, causing performance issues and potential failure.

Improper Lubrication

Inadequate or incorrect lubrication of valve components can lead to increased friction, wear, and reduced efficiency. This can ultimately result in valve failure.

Neglected Maintenanc

Skipping regular inspections and maintenance can allow issues to go unnoticed. Neglecting maintenance routines can allow minor problems to worsen over time, ultimately leading to valve failure.

Environmental Factors

Operating in regions with extreme weather conditions, such as freezing temperatures, can cause valve components to contract and become more brittle, increasing the risk of failure.

Understanding these common reasons for brake valve failures is essential for drivers and fleet managers. Regular inspections, proper maintenance, and timely replacements with high-quality components are essential to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of a vehicle’s braking system.
