Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 1:31 pm Post subject: Parking brake check valve

I have misplaced the drawing on the dual check valve used for a parking 

brake on our RV's.

I have a hazy recollection that the lever is perpendicular to the fluid 

flow when the check valves are operating.

Anyone have this information or a steer to where I could download the 

drawing?

thanks

Jim,

     If you are referring to the Matco parking brake valve, you can find 

the information at

Which valve?



If I recall correctly, there are two.  I have one installed on my 6A - don't remember the brand though.  I'll see if I can dig out the documentation.

This is not the one that I have - I'll continue looking.

Generally the lever blocks flow when it's perpendicular to the line, open when it's parallel. I recall that it doesn't require a full 90* motion to open the valve. It's most likely either made by Matco or Grove.

The Matco valve that I have, earlier version than the one on the     Matco site, wants the lever at 45 degrees to the body for both open     and closed positions. I verified this by blowing through it while     operating the lever. This orientation makes it easier to rig the     cable, too. Make sure you have positive stops at both positions.     Somebody I know didn't and the fire dept wound up opening his     bleeder valves to get him off the taxiway so the jets could get by     when he couldn't release the brakes.

Thanks all for the replies.

I think I have the older model, have to look in the AC. I haven't 

fabricated a linkage for it, have just been using the lever.

It seems that some hard landings can move the lever and give surprise 

braking.

It looks like the new one allows the lever to be moved around. The 

reason for my not putting on a proper linkage

is that the lever was moving opposite to a convenient cable hook up, 

I.E. would require a pull to release the brakes.

I think that the next project is to put on the new valve and a cable.

thanks again

regards Jim Bean

Use a locking or ratcheting cable so vibration doesn't move it. Put it 

on your side of the cabin so mate doesn't think it's for heat. You can 

use the outer cable as the stop on one end and set the other end to be 

brakes released when the knob is full forward.
