Four-circuit protection valve
The four-way protection valve is used to ensure the air pressure in other circuits if a leak should
occur in one of them.
If a leak occurs in one of the circuits, the four-way protection valve will stop the supply of air to that
circuit to prevent the passage of air from the other circuits. In this way, the supply of air to the other
circuits is safeguarded and the vehicle can still be braked.
The four-way protective valve is available in two versions, a 5-port valve and a 7-port valve.
Vehicles with low system pressure (8.5 bar) use a 5-port valve, while vehicles with high system
pressure (12 bar) use a 7-port valve.
The opening pressure in the new 5-port valve parking circuit (port 23) has been changed to 6.9-7.2
bar. The opening pressure in the new 7-port valve is the same as for earlier 7-port valves, 5.5-5.8
bar.
Both valves have a new design for evacuating the parking brake circuit when the pressure in the
rear brake circuit is too low. On earlier valves, the parking brake circuit is evacuated into the free
air, while it is evacuated to the rear brake circuit on the new valves. The advantage of this change
is that air does not flow out of the brake system and it eliminates the risk of mistaking the evacuated
air for a leak.
