Truck air brake valve

The working principle of truck air brake valve truck air brake valves provide air to the truck, which helps brake the truck when needed. The air comes from special tanks on the truck. When you hit the brakes, air travels through pipes known as brake lines to the valves. These VIT valves control the flow of air to the brakes. The Air Brake Connection Cable on the driver builds the pressure with air which allows for the brakes to operate to slow down the truck and eventually come to a stop. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, air travels through pipes to the relay valve. The relay valve then sends more air evenly to each brake, which makes it engage and slow the truck. How much you push on the brake pedal directly relates to how much pressure (most of the time) is in the brake system, thus how fast and/or well your brake will slow the truck down, which is a big safety concern.

A Guide

The air brake system of the truck must be in a well-function condition which is very vital. These VIT pipes and valves may leak over time, so drivers should be sure to inspect them regularly. This is to make sure that all units are up and running. They also must be checked regularly and drained of moisture in the air tanks. If water accumulates in the tanks, it can corrode the valves, reducing the effectiveness of the brakes. You need to know how to use the Brake Pads properly. They need to work on applying and releasing the brakes smoothly. This prevents sudden halts or skids that could be dangerous. Drivers also need to take into consideration the weight of their load, as a larger load affects braking performance. Generally, a heavier load takes longer and needs more distance to stop safely.
