A relay valve: One type of VIT air valve that many trucks utilize. This valve is critical for controlling the brakes on the trailer, which is the portion that transports the items. The air brake relay valve receives air via special lines when the driver pushes the brake pedal. And then the brake relay valve sends air back out to the trailer brakes. The relay valve is important because if it was not present, the trailer brakes would not function at all. This can create incredibly dangerous situations like road accidents, and this brings us to the importance of relay valve and safety system.  

Tips for Long-Term Performance

Among the many types of truck air valve, an important one is the check valve. The valve ensures the air pressure in the brake lines is maintained. If the pressure gets low enough, the brakes will function improperly, and that can be very dangerous for the driver and everybody else on the street. The check valve keeps that air pressure nice and just so for when the brakes are needed. 

For all-weather VIT air valves to last long, proper maintenance is required. One of the ways to do this is by keeping them clean. Dirt and dust can accumulate and block the lines, causing the valves not to work. If the valves are not clean and clear, they won’t be able to do their job properly. Make sure that the air lines are not leaking one way or another. Leakages can lead to the brake failure as well as bad for the truck's other vital parts. Immediate repairs of leaks can help prevent larger issues down the line.
