Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically controls the airflow into your air compressor. It opens and closes to let air get sucked in when the compressor is running, and shuts to keep air from flowing backwards when it's not. It also has a filter built in to keep dirt and moisture out of the compressor itself. Think of it like the lungs of the system, pulling in the air it needs to work. It’s part of your air brake system, naturally. Your compressor makes the compressed air that actually powers your brakes – everything from stopping the truck to holding it in place when parked. The suction valve is right at the very beginning of that process, making sure the compressor gets clean air to start with. It’s usually located somewhere near the compressor itself, often bolted directly to it.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this valve fails, you’ll probably notice it. You’ll notice if your air compressor isn't building pressure correctly, or if it’s running constantly trying to catch up. That leads to weak brakes, or brakes that don't hold – obviously not a good situation. A bad suction valve can also let moisture and debris get into the compressor, which speeds up wear and tear and eventually leads to a very expensive compressor replacement. It acts like a shield, protecting the whole system. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking to replace yours, and they’re usually a pretty straightforward swap. It’s one of those things that’s cheap to fix before it causes a bigger problem.
