ADJUSTABLE DISC BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE - BLACK
Adjustable brake proportioning valves can be mounted vertically or horizontally. A turn of the knob adjusts the brake proportion on your vehicle to help tailor your brakes to your exact requirements.
An adjustable proportioning valve is normally installed near the rear brake line, allowing you to adjust the rate of pressure rise to the back brakes. With an adjustable proportioning valve, you can slow down the pressure rise that occurs when you apply the brakes. Under normal braking conditions, most vehicles braking systems will cause a transfer of weight to the front wheels. When this occurs, the rear wheels lose some weight and can lock up if the pressure is too great too quickly in the braking process. Eventually full pressure is applied to the rear brakes through the proportioning valve.
