Electric Brake Shut Off

The Wilwood Electric Brake Shut Off (Model 260-9921) is a 12-volt remote-controlled brake shutoff valve designed to isolate hydraulic brake pressure in high-performance and specialized vehicle applications. This shutoff valve allows operators to completely disconnect brake system pressure via remote actuation, a critical capability for tow vehicles, emergency response units, and high-speed pursuit or recovery operations where brake isolation or system reset may be necessary in the field.

The unit features 1/8-inch NPT female ports for clean, compact integration into existing brake lines and comes as a complete kit ready for installation. The 12-volt remote control design enables activation from the driver's position without manual intervention, reducing response time during emergency maneuvers or vehicle recovery scenarios. At 0.99 lbs and measuring 5.7 x 2.6 x 7.8 inches, the valve fits tight packaging constraints common in pursuit vehicles, tow trucks, and off-road recovery platforms. Wilwood's reputation in high-performance braking systems ensures the solenoid mechanism and valve body are engineered to handle repeated cycling and the pressure differentials inherent in emergency brake applications.

This shutoff valve serves LEOs, tactical operators, and serious vehicle enthusiasts managing complex brake architectures where selective pressure control is essential. Law enforcement tow units, armored or special operations vehicles, and high-performance off-road platforms benefit from the ability to isolate brake sections for diagnostics, emergency recovery, or system redundancy testing. The remote activation eliminates the need for manual shutoff valves or complex mechanical linkages, improving reliability under high-stress field conditions where quick, positive isolation can prevent brake fade or system damage during prolonged pursuit or recovery operations.
