This little part manages the release of air pressure in your air brake system. Specifically, it directs excess air – typically when you apply the brakes or the system is working – away from certain areas and ensures proper operation of other components like the control valve and relays. It's basically a traffic director for the air. It ensures that air flows where it needs to go and doesn’t build up where it shouldn’t. Think of it as part of the overall breathing system for your air brakes. It’s connected to the control valve, and it's job is to help regulate pressure. It works with other valves to ensure a smooth and controlled braking experience. It’s not a huge, flashy component, but it’s right there supporting everything else.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements
