Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically controls the flow of compressed air throughout your air brake system. It opens and closes to allow air into and out of different components – things like the air bags, or the wheel cylinders that actually press the brakes. There are different types, some control air to the brakes themselves, others manage the air pressure in the system overall, and some regulate airflow to different axles. It’s a pretty simple idea, really – directing air where it needs to go. Think of your air brake system like your circulatory system. The compressor is the heart, the air tanks are where the air is stored, and the valves are like, well, the valves in your veins. They make sure air gets delivered to the right place at the right time when you hit the brake pedal. It’s part of the network that gets everything working together to slow or stop the vehicle. A valve can be for the main brake line, the trailer brake, or a specific function like parking brake application.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is critical stuff. If a valve fails, you can lose braking power – obviously that's not good. A stuck – open valve can cause a constant application of the brakes on one wheel or axle, which causes overheating and wear. A stuck – closed valve… well, you’ll notice if you have one of those, as you'll lose brakes on that circuit. They’re a vital safety component. You can find a good selection of these, and diagrams to help you identify the correct one for your setup, over at Fixparts Online. It's important to get the right part, and replace it when it's not working as it should, for your safety and everyone else on the road.
