A single safety valve maintains pressure in the receivers of the towing vehicle during an emergency decrease in pressure in the supply line of the trailer, and also prevents the release of compressed air from its line when the pressure in the brake drive of the towing vehicle drops, preventing automatic self-braking of the trailer.

The valve is adjusted to bypass air from port “I” to port “II” when the pressure in port “I” reaches 550 kPa.

Single safety valve: a - position at system pressure below 550 kPa; c - working position; I - output to receivers; II - output to the trailer supply line and to the trailer brake control valve with a single-wire drive; 1 - body; 2 - check valve; 3 - membrane; 4 - piston; 5 - cover; 6, 7 - springs; 8 - adjusting screw

Compressed air through terminal “I” enters cavity “A” under membrane 3.

Upon reaching a pressure of 550 kPa, the compressed air, overcoming the force of springs 6 and 7, lifts the membrane 3 and passes into the sub-valve cavity “B”, from where through check valve 2 it flows to terminal “II” of the trailer supply line.

When the pressure in terminal “I” is below 545 kPa, membrane 3, under the action of springs 6 and 7, falls onto the seat and disconnects terminals “I” and “II”; in this case, check valve 2 closes and prevents the reverse movement of compressed air from terminal “II” to terminal “I”.

The valve opening pressure is set by adjusting screw 8.

When screwing it in, the valve opening pressure increases, when turning it out, it decreases.

Single safety valve: a - position at system pressure below 550 kPa; c - working position; I - output to receivers; II - output to the trailer supply line and to the trailer brake control valve with a single-wire drive; 1 - body; 2 - check valve; 3 - membrane; 4 - piston; 5 - cover; 6, 7 - springs; 8 - adjusting screw

Replacing a single safety valve

We replace the single safety valve in case of the following malfunctions:

  • - violation of valve tightness. An external sign is air leakage through the terminals and at the places where the cover is attached to the valve body;
  • - mechanical damage to the valve body, cover and membrane, interfering with its normal operation

Tools required: wrenches 22x24, 27x30

Removing single safety valve 28

We prepare the car and bleed air from the receivers of the 19th circuit of the parking brake system

Unscrew the union nut of the pipeline coming from the receiver 19 from the fitting of the single protective valve 28 and disconnect the pipeline from the valve

Unscrew the protective valve 28 from the tee connecting the terminal apan 27 safety valve control

Installation of a single safety valve 28

Screw the protective valve 28 onto the valve tee 27

Note: The air flow direction arrow on the single safety valve body must point towards valve 27

Connect the pipeline from the receiver 19 to the protective valve and tighten the union nut

Removing single safety valve 10

Bleeding air from receiver 19 of the parking brake system

Unscrew the union nuts of the inlet and outlet pipelines 10 from the fittings of the single safety valve

Disconnect the pipelines from the valve and remove the valve

Installation of single safety valve 10

Connect the pipelines to the protective valve 10 and tighten the union nuts of the pipelines

Note: The arrow of the single safety valve must be directed in the direction of the compressed air flow coming from the compressor

Start the engine and create pressure in the pneumatic brake drive. We check the tightness of pipelines and safety valves. Air leakage is not allowed

Disassembly and assembly of a single safety valve

Tools required: vice, soft jaws, wrench 12x13, socket wrench 10, screwdriver, special pliers I801.23.000-01, utensils for fuel and lubricant, brush

Disassembly of a single safety valve

Installing the valve in a vice

Parts of a single, protective valve: 1 - retaining ring; 2 - bushing; 3, 9 - springs; 4 - check valve body; 5 - valve ring; 6 - valve body; 7 - diaphragm; 8 - piston; 10 - spring plate; 11 - cover; 12 - spring washer; 13 - screw; 14 - lock nut; 15 - adjusting screw

Using a 13mm wrench and a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew the adjusting screw 15 and the lock nut 14

Use a screwdriver to unscrew screws 13 of the fastening with washers 12 of the cover

Remove cover 11, spring plate 10, spring 9, piston 8, membrane 7

Remove thrust ring 1, bushing 2, spring 3, valve body 4, valve ring 5 from the body

Remove the body from the vice

We wash the valve parts in diesel fuel, blow them with compressed air and check their technical condition

Install cover 11 on valve body 6, insert fastening screws 13 with spring washers into the holes of cover 11 and the body

We screw in the fastening screws 13 with spring washers 12 and screw the adjusting screw 15 into the cover, tighten the lock nut 14

Remove the valve from the vice and test the valve

Test order:

Connect the device according to the diagram

Connection diagram for a single protective valve: 1, 4 - pressure gauges; 2 - device (single safety valve); 3 - adjusting screw; 5, 7 - taps; 6 - receiver; 8 - gearbox

Open tap 7. Set the pressure reducer on pressure gauge 1 to 539 kPa (5.5 kgf/cm 2).

We use adjusting screw 3 to ensure that receiver 6 begins to fill. Close tap 7 and open tap 5.

Close valve 5 and open valve 7. Using gearbox 8, set pressure on pressure gauge 1 to 736 kPa (7.5 kgf/cm 2). Pressure gauges 1 and 4 should show equal pressure.

During testing, device 2 should not show a decrease in pressure

We check the adjustment again, as indicated above, and, if necessary, adjust the adjustment
