The installation of the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller part #HA100400C can vary greatly from application to application as well as experience level. Therefore, I don't have an official estimated install time unfortunately but the hardest part of the installation will be splicing into the air lines on the tractor unit. The rest is just running wires to and from power. I'd estimate around two to three hours based on the factors above in my experience.
