The brake valve is responsible for controlling the flow of air into the braking system. It is usually located on the front of the trailer near the front axle. The brake valve opens and closes as the trailer brakes, allowing air to flow into the lines leading to the brake drums or rotors. The pressure protection valve monitors the pressure inside the braking system. If the pressure becomes too high, the valve will open and allow the air to escape from the system. This safeguard prevents the brakes from becoming overloaded and bursting. The brake valve and pressure protection valve are usually joined together by a control valve assembly. 

The brake valves from Bendix and the other top brands are ideal for use with heavy trucks. They offer a variety of valve types, including a brake valve, pressure protection valve, and control valve assembly.
