Spring Brake Valve (SR-7) Control & Balance Port: 3/8" PTC 90 degree fitting
SKU: US31-11153
Spring Brake Valve (SR-7) Control & Balance Port: 3/8" PTC 90 degree fitting
The "Spring Brake Valve (SR-7) Control & Balance Port: 3/8" PTC 90 Degree Fitting" is a component used in air brake systems, particularly for trucks and other heavy vehicles. Here’s a detailed description of its features and functions:
1. Product Overview
- Type: Spring Brake Valve (SR-7)
- Purpose: This valve is an integral part of the air brake system, used to control the application and release of spring brakes. It ensures that the spring brakes engage and disengage correctly in response to changes in air pressure.
2. Features
- Control Port: The valve has a control port that regulates the spring brakes' operation. This port is where the air pressure is applied to control the spring brake function.
- Balance Port: The valve also includes a balance port which helps in maintaining equal air pressure in the system to ensure consistent braking performance and stability.
3. Fitting Details
-
Fitting Type: 3/8" PTC (Push-To-Connect)
- 3/8" PTC: The valve features a push-to-connect fitting with a 3/8 inch diameter, allowing for easy and quick connection of air lines without the need for additional tools.
- 90 Degree Angle: The fitting is designed with a 90-degree angle, which helps in routing the air lines neatly and efficiently within the confined spaces of the truck’s braking system.
4. Material & Construction
- Material: Typically made from high-strength materials such as brass or aluminum, ensuring durability and resistance to wear and tear, as well as to the harsh conditions of the truck’s braking system.
- Construction: Designed to withstand high air pressures and continuous operation, ensuring reliable performance and longevity.
5. Compatibility
- Vehicle Type: Commonly used in heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles with spring brake systems. It is essential for ensuring the proper functioning of the air brake system, especially in vehicles that use spring brakes as a secondary or emergency braking system.
- Model: The SR-7 model is designed to fit various trucks and braking systems that require this specific type of valve and fitting configuration.
6. Functionality
- Spring Brake Operation: The valve controls the engagement and release of spring brakes by regulating the air pressure in the braking system. It ensures that the spring brakes are applied in the event of a loss of air pressure, providing safety and stopping power.
- Balance Function: The balance port maintains equilibrium in the brake system, ensuring that the braking force is evenly distributed, which improves the stability and effectiveness of the braking system.
7. Installation
- Ease of Installation: The push-to-connect fitting allows for a simple and efficient installation process. The 90-degree angle helps in optimizing space and routing within the truck’s braking system, making it easier to fit in tight areas.
- Connections: Connects directly to air lines using the push-to-connect feature, reducing the need for additional fittings or adapters.
8. Maintenance
- Durability: Built to be robust and long-lasting, requiring minimal maintenance. Regular checks should be performed to ensure that the valve is functioning correctly and that there are no leaks or damage to the fittings.
- Cleaning: Keep the valve and fittings clean and free from debris to ensure smooth operation. Periodic inspections are recommended to maintain optimal performance.
This spring brake valve with its control and balance ports, combined with a 3/8" PTC 90-degree fitting, provides a reliable solution for managing the spring brake system in heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring effective and consistent braking performance.
