The Multiquip EE43519 Breakaway Switch Kit is a genuine OEM Breakaway Switch Kit designed for Water Trailer and MLT25DCA towable tower series equipment. This kit ships as a complete assembly, supplying everything needed to restore correct breakaway braking function on compatible trailers. As a direct OEM replacement, it matches the original design intent for WT5HP, WTE5HP, WT5C, WTE5C, and MLT25DCA applications. Keeping this component in working order is essential for safe towing compliance on any equipped unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification: — Engineered to the exact electrical and mechanical tolerances required for proper breakaway activation — not a generic switch substitute.
- Complete Kit Format: — Supplied as a full kit so you have every component required for a proper installation in a single order.
- Broad Towable Equipment Fitment: — Compatible with Water Trailer models WT5HP, WTE5HP, WT5HPSG, WT5C, WTE5C, and WT5CSG, as well as the MLT25DCA towable light tower.
- Braking System Integrity: — A functional breakaway switch triggers the trailer brakes automatically if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle, protecting equipment, operators, and bystanders.
- Safety-Critical Compliance: — Breakaway braking systems are required by DOT towing regulations; using a correctly rated OEM switch ensures the circuit responds within the activation threshold required by law.
A breakaway switch is a safety device mounted on a towable trailer that activates the trailer's brakes automatically if the trailer disconnects from the towing vehicle while in transit. It works in conjunction with a lanyard and a battery-backed brake circuit — when the lanyard pulls free, the switch closes the circuit and applies the brakes. A failed, corroded, or improperly rated switch will not trigger correctly during a separation event, leaving a runaway trailer with no braking capability. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the EE43519 Breakaway Switch Kit ensures this critical safety system remains fully operational.
