Description
The Automann 170.KN28600 is a premium aftermarket FF-2 type full function trailer brake valve that serves as a direct replacement for the Haldex/Midland KN28600. This single valve combines the functions of pressure protection, two one-way check valves, a spring brake valve with quick release, and a four-port relay valve into one compact, corrosion-resistant unit. Built-in anti-compounding protection prevents simultaneous application of service and spring brakes, eliminating broken foundation brake components and maintaining FMVSS-121 compliance.
Signs You Need a New Full Function Valve
- Spring brakes not releasing fully or releasing slowly after charging
- Trailer brakes dragging or not applying evenly
- Audible air leaks from the valve body or exhaust ports
- Compounding of service and spring brakes causing foundation brake damage
- Trailer air pressure dropping below normal operating range
