Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
Operation

OPERATION

Proportioning valves balance front to rear braking by controlling (at a given ratio) brake hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes above a preset level (split
point). On light pedal applications equal brake pressure is transmitted to both the front and rear brakes. On heavier pedal applications, through the use of
proportioning valves, the pressure transmitted to the rear will be lower than the front brakes. This prevents premature rear wheel skid.
