Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation

PROPORTIONING VALVE

DESCRIPTION

The proportioning valve distributes the proper fluid pressure to the front and rear wheels to obtain greater braking efficiency and prevents premature rear wheel lock-up. You should not disassemble it because the performance of the valve is closely connected with the mounting tension of the spring.
