K206895
Valve - Trailer Brake, Dash Mounted, 38N
Bendix

Trailer brake dash-mounted valve with a 38N designation provides controlled pressure modulation for trailer braking circuits, enabling precise deceleration and stable stopping across variable loads. The compact body shares the same dimensional footprint as other dash-mounted valves (63.5 mm width, 25.6 mm height, 61 mm length), ensuring compatibility with standard mounting provisions and dash-integrated installations. In addition to its primary function of pressure regulation, the unit’s VE cross-reference to BW K206899 indicates alternate or compatible configurations that can be selected for different system architectures, simplifying replacement in mixed fleets. VMRS 013-010-014 categorizes it within the trailer brake valve family, emphasizing its role in maintaining trailer braking performance and coordination with tractor braking commands. Practical applications include tuning trailer brake response for different road grades and load conditions, supporting safer braking in combination vehicles. Hydraulics and electrical interfaces should be checked during replacement to preserve control accuracy and prevent unintended repositioning of the trailer’s braking force. Category context 41532 confirms its use within trailer brake control subsystems.
