3.  Install the small end of the inlet/exhaust valve spring 

(34) over the rubber of the valve (33), making sure the 
spring coils rest on the valve’s four tabs. 

Note:

 Both 

ends of spring (34) are the same diameter on valves 
manufactured after June 1990.

4.  Insert the spring and valve into the valve seat (32), 

making sure the four tabs are within the seat’s bore.

5.  Insert the valve, seat and spring assembly into the 

proportioning piston (28).

6.  While holding the seat (32) in place, install the retaining 

ring (30) to secure it in the piston (28). Make certain the 
retaining ring is fully seated in its groove. Make sure 
the valve is straight against the exhaust seat and free 
to move.

7.  Install both the large and small diameter o-rings (27 & 

29) on the proportioning piston (28).

8.  Install both the large and small diameter o-rings (25 & 

26) on the blend back piston (24), then insert the small 
diameter of the proportioning piston (28) into the small 
diameter end of the blend back piston (24).

9.  Carefully insert the assembled proportioning and blend 

back pistons (24 & 28) to the edge of the bore in the 
cover (2). Do not cut or pinch the o-rings.

10. With the bore of the cover facing up, install the spring 

cage (23) in the blend back piston (24) so that its fl at 
side rests against the blend back piston (its depressed 
side out towards spring (22)).

11. Install the service piston (20) over the spring (22) in 

the cage (23) so that its coils are within the l.D. of the 
cage.

12. Install o-ring (18) on exhaust piston (17A).

13. Place exhaust piston on service piston with its six ribbed 

side facing the service piston. Then install both pistons 
while pushing the proportioning and blend back pistons 
(28 & 24) all the way into the cover.

14. Install the retaining ring (15), making certain it is fully 

seated in its groove.

15. Install the exhaust cover (37) using screw (36) to retain 

it. Torque the screw to 8 to 15 lb. in.

16. Install the valve retainer (8) on the inlet and exhaust 

valve (9) so that the fl ange of the retainer (8) surrounds 
the rubber portion of the valve. Install the inlet and 
exhaust valve in the body (1).

17. Install the inlet and exhaust valve return spring (7) in 

the body (1).

18. Install the large and small diameter o-rings (5 & 6) in 

the exhaust cover (4), then install the exhaust cover 
in the body (1), taking care not to damage the o-rings. 
Hold the exhaust cover in place.

19. While depressing the exhaust cover (4), install the 

retaining ring (3) in the body (1). Make certain the 
retainer (3) is fully seated in its groove in the body.

20. If the BP-R1

 valve was equipped with a relay piston 

return spring (15), install the spring in the body, large 
diameter fi rst.

21. Using lubricant to hold them in place, install the large 

and small sealing rings (11 & 35) on the cover (2).

22. Install the o-ring (12) on the relay piston (13), then install 

the piston in the body (1).

23. After noting the relationship marks made prior to disas-

sembly, install the mounting bracket (not illustrated) on 
the cover (2) then secure the cover (2) and mounting 
bracket on the body (1) using the four cap screws (10). 
Torque the cap screws to 120 to 150 lb. in.

24. Install all air line fi ttings and plugs making certain thread 

sealing material does not enter the valve.

25. Install the BP-R1

 valve on the vehicle and perform 

the 

Operation and Leakage Tests

 before returning the 

vehicle to service.
