Brake apparatus including control valve with integral check valve

摘要

A valve for controlling the operation of spring brake chambers in spring brake actuators used in tractor-trailer combinations. The valve is adapted for use with two spring brake actuators and two sources of supply pressure and includes an integral check valve for permitting fluid to flow from either source into the valve but from neither source into the other source. The valve further includes apparatus for alternately providing communication between output port(s) to the spring brake actuators and the check valve or an exhaust port.
