Pressure protection valves
The one-way check pressure protection valves protect against leaks in air pressure from the braking system if an air line or valve in an air-operated accessory fails, the company says. The e-coated zinc diecast body prevents corrosion, and the Nitrile diaphragm provides durability. The valves can be used in air suspensions, air seats or cab isolation systems.
