Trailer Plugsaver - 7-Way Plug Retainer, Secures Trailer Plug in Socket - 179.1019

Trailer lights that quit halfway through a run are usually not a bulb problem. This Trailer Plugsaver distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires is a 7-way plug retainer that secures the trailer plug in its socket and prevents vibration disconnects, which is the failure that puts a driver on the shoulder in the dark looking for a fault that is really just a plug that backed itself out. It also holds the disconnected trailer cord plug when the trailer is dropped, protecting it from weather and damage. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, trailer repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.

Lights That Stay On: The 7-Way Plugsaver Advantage

A 7-way plug lives a hard life. It is coupled and uncoupled constantly, it hangs in road spray and salt, and it spends every mile being shaken by the same articulation that works the air lines. The plugsaver addresses both halves of that: while connected, it holds the plug positively in the socket so vibration cannot back it out; while disconnected, it gives the plug a home instead of leaving it swinging against the deck plate or lying in the slush. It mounts at the back of cab or on the trailer nose, wherever the cord is routed.

At FleetPro Parts & Tires, we call this kind of part cheap insurance: a few dollars of retainer against a destroyed cord plug, a rewired socket, and a roadside lighting failure that becomes an out-of-service violation. Manufactured by Automann to Fleet Standard specifications, it weighs only 0.22 lbs and fits standard 7-way trailer plugs and sockets on any make of tractor or trailer.
