Wilwood Residual Pressure Valve - New Style with Fittings - 10 psi for Drum Brakes - Red

Wilwood's two, four and ten pound residual pressure valves retain a minimum brake line pressure to help eliminate excessive pedal travel in both disc and drum brake systems. The two pound valve is used in disc brake applications where the master cylinder is mounted below the horizontal plane of the calipers and fluid drain back occurs from gravity and vibration, thereby causing excessive caliper piston retraction and a longer brake pedal stroke. The minimal two pound residual pressure prevents fluid from flowing back without causing the brakes to drag. Four pound valves can be beneficial in high vibration brake sytems such as off-road or dirt circle track racing. With drum brakes, a ten pound valve is used to compensate for return spring tension and maintain wheel cylinder sealing in the drums. Residual Pressure Valves are made from billet aluminum and color coded for easy identification. Valves with fittings are supplied with two 1/8-27 NPT to 3/8-24 inverted flare female fittings that will fit most domestic 3/16th hard brake lines.

The Wilwood Part Number 260-13784 residual pressure valve is designed to improve brake system performance by maintaining a minimal pressure in the brake lines. Crafted from durable billet aluminum and color-coded in red for easy identification, this valve is ideal for use in drum brake applications where consistent sealing and return spring tension are essential. The 10 psi residual pressure helps prevent wheel cylinder leakage and ensures responsive braking by compensating for return spring tension within the drum brake system. This feature makes it particularly suitable for heavy-duty or high-vibration environments, where maintaining consistent brake pressure is critical for safety and performance. The valve comes supplied with two 1/8-27 NPT to 3/8-24 inverted flare female fittings, compatible with most domestic 3/16-inch hard brake lines, simplifying installation and ensuring a secure fit. Designed for automotive use, this valve is suitable for a variety of brake configurations, providing reliable performance for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Its compact size and robust construction make it a versatile addition to any brake system, helping to reduce pedal travel and improve overall braking efficiency. Whether upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, the Wilwood residual pressure valve offers a dependable solution for maintaining optimal brake line pressure under challenging conditions. This product is a valuable component for enhancing brake responsiveness and ensuring safety across various vehicle types and driving environments.
