It also serves as an exchange unit for 934 701 041 0.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically has three jobs. First, it prevents air from flowing backwards in the system – think of it like a one – way street for the air. Second, it keeps the air pressure from building up too high, acting like a safety release if something goes wrong. And third, it isolates sections of the air brake system if there's a major leak, so you don’t lose all your braking power. It does all this automatically, so you don't have to worry about manually controlling anything. It sits within your air brake system, and it’s a critical component for, well, keeping you stopped. Specifically, it’s protecting the entire system from failures. It’s usually located somewhere along the air lines leading to the air bags, near the air compressor and reservoir. It’s not something you’ll directly interact with while driving, it just works in the background to maintain safety.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s hugely important because it’s a safeguard. Air brakes rely on consistent pressure, and this valve keeps that pressure stable and prevents catastrophic failure. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad because your air brakes might not engage properly, or you might have trouble holding pressure. It’s one of those parts where it's better to replace it proactively than wait for a problem to develop. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and a new one is pretty affordable considering what it protects. It's really a core safety component for any vehicle with air brakes.
