5003527 | Genuine Bendix® Air Brake Single Check Valve

• Weight: 3 lbs
• Fit for: Peterbilt, Kenworth
• Functions:
  
  • Pressure maintenance: By preventing air flow in the reverse direction, the check valve helps to maintain proper air pressure in the brake system, ensuring that the brakes are always able to provide adequate stopping power.
    
  • One-way flow: The check valve allows air to flow in one direction only, from the air supply to the brake system. This prevents air from flowing backwards, which can lead to reduced braking efficiency and increased stopping distances.
    
  • Brake fade prevention: Brake fade occurs when the brakes become less effective due to excessive heat. The check valve helps to prevent brake fade by ensuring that the brake system maintains adequate air pressure, even under heavy braking conditions.
