Disc Brake Residual Valve, 2 PSI, Polished

As featured on Classic Truck’s Week to Wicked. Watch the transformationhere! Ever had problems with a spongy pedal or slow, unresponsive brakes? If so, you may need a residual pressure valve installed in your brake line. A redesidual valve acts like a one-way or check valve to maintain brake system pressure to eliminate the problems of a spongy pedal. This 2 PSI residual valve is installed inline between the master cylinder and disc brake calipers to keep 2 PSI of residual pressure at the caliper after the brake pedal is released. This ensures that you will have a high, firm pedal next time you press the brake pedal. If your master cylinder is located below the floorboard, installing a 2 PSI residual valve is highly recommended. If your master cylinder is mounted on the firewall, a residual valve is generally not needed because gravity will provide a natural residual pressure within the brake line. Our residual pressure valve features a fully polished finish with a 1/8" NPT port at each end. Use 2 PSI residual valves for disc brake applications only. Inverted flare or AN threaded adapter fittings to the 1/8" NPT female thread will be required and are noted below and available as required.

• A residual valve acts like a one-way valve (check valve) to maintain brake system pressure and eliminate a spongy pedal
• This 2 psi version is used for disc brakes and provides just enough residual pressure to firm up the pedal, yet not too much that the brakes drag
• The valve is installed inline between the master cylinder and disc brake calipers
• Required on low mounted master cylinder such as under the floor locations but these also enhance brake systems with a high mounted master cylinder
• 1/8" NPT female thread connections make this a very universal item. Use inverted flare adapters when connecting this valve to a 3/16" brake line
