Proportioning Valve

Valve operates by restricting, at a given ratio, hydraulic pressure to rear brakes when system hydraulic pressure reaches a certain point. This improves front-to-rear brake balance at high speed braking, when a percentage of rear weight is transferred to front wheels.

Valve reduces rear brake pressure, delaying rear wheel skid. On light brake application, valve allows full hydraulic pressure to rear brakes.
