DESCRIPTION

The SV-1

 synchro valve and the SV-3

 trailer release valve

are pilot operated, non-graduating pneumatic control valves.
These valves are used to control air from a remote supply,
have set opening and closing pressures and can be used to
delay or sequence the action of other pneumatic devices.

GENERAL

The SV-1

 synchro valve (figure 1) and SV-3

 & SV-4

 trailer

release valves (figure 2) are air controlled, “On-Off” (non-
graduating) control valves that are primarily used to delay or

sequence various devices and events in the air brake system.
These valves can be operated either in an automatic or
manual mode using different air connection methods.

Two .28 inch mounting holes are provided in the die cast
aluminum body for panel or frame mounting. Two hex cap
nuts at the ends of the cylindrical valve body retain the internal
