SPRING BRAKE AND TWO-WAY CONTROL VALVE
SPRING BRAKE CONTROL VALVE
(MIDLAND ROSS)
DESCRIPTION
The spring brake control valve is a manually operated
valve of push-pull type.
When the valve is pushed "in"
the valve is open to supply air.
The "out" position closes
off supply air and allows delivered air to exhaust to
atmosphere, applying the spring brakes.
Valve also
features a plunger pressure sensing arrangement which
provides automatic return to "out" position when brake
system air pressure approaches low energy levels.
