<p>A pipe bracket for use in a freight brake control valve on a railway freight vehicle. A service portion and an emergency portion are mounted to a first pipe bracket side directed opposite to the first pipe bracket side. Piping to a brake pipe, a brake cylinder, an emergency reservoir and an auxiliary reservoir are connected to a second side of the pipe bracket. A plurality of passageways are provided through the pipe bracket portion for providing fluid communication from the brake pipe, the brake cylinder, the emergency reservoir, and the auxiliary reservoir to the service portion and the emergency portion. One or more and preferably four access ports connect to one or more and preferably each of the passageways. Preferably, the access ports are provided on the first side of the pipe bracket portion. A housing having one or more channels, each corresponding to an access port is engaged to the pipe bracket portion so that fluid pressure at the access ports can be transmitted to the housing. The housing has a valve means for containing a pressure within the channels. A removable outer cover may be provided over the housing for sealing the channels. Or, an adaptor may engage the housing, opening the valve means, for accessing the fluid pressures.</p> |
