Trailer Spring Brake Valves
Trailer spring brake valves are designed for use in
trailer air brake systems.
The SR-4
™
trailer spring brake valve was an earlier
design that used a dedicated spring brake reservoir for
release of the trailer spring brakes. Note: This valve
is available for service only, due to changes made in
FMVSS 121 (superseded by SR-5
™
). All other Bendix
spring brake valves use service reservoir air for trailer
spring brake release.
Mounted on one of the trailer reservoirs, these
valves control both the parking and emergency
brake functions of the spring brakes and use internal
pressure protection and check valves to isolate
reservoir failures to prevent automatic application of
the trailer spring brakes. An anti-compound feature
is part of these valves.
With later government regulations allowing simplifi ed
system plumbing, Bendix developed the SR-5
™
trailer
spring brake valve. It also mounts to a reservoir on the
trailer and, like the SR-2
™
& SR-4
™
trailer spring brake
valves, it controls the trailer spring brakes, but unlike
these valves, the SR-5
™
trailer spring brake valve
uses supply line pressure to release the trailer spring
brakes. Because dedicated or isolated reservoir
pressure is no longer required by law for spring brake
release, the SR-5
™
trailer spring brake valve system
needs only one reservoir for service volume on single
axle trailers. Two reservoirs are generally required for
service volume requirements on tandem axle trailers.

An integral anti-compound feature is part of the SR-5

trailer spring brake valve. The SR-5

is a “spring brake
