Go It Alone
Performing pre-trip inspections is one of the best ways to
ensure that your vehicle won’t have any unexpected problems
while on the road. However, since two people are required to
conduct a pre-trip brake inspection, many drivers aren’t able
to do them safely and accurately. Due to the difficulty of
completing the inspections alone, some drivers choose to not
do them at all and hope they don’t have any problems on the
road. Others use a brick to keep the vehicle from rolling.
Neither of which is very safe. And if you are lucky enough to
have two people to perform the inspection, it’s double the
effort and double the time.

But with the Bendix
®
BVA-85
™
brake valve actuator, a driver
can perform the pre-trip inspection alone. Because the
unit provides an 85 psi brake application, a single driver is
able to perform pre-trip inspections safer, easier and more
accurately than ever.

Correct Pressure For Correct Assessment
Because the BVA-85
™
brake valve actuator provides a
standard 85 psi brake application, a single person is able to
check the service brake system for leaks, make sure the
tractor and trailer are properly connected, check the stoplight
switch, and accurately access chamber strokes.

tractor and trailer are properly connected, check the stoplight
switch, and accurately access chamber strokes.
The 85 psi brake application provided by the BVA-85 brake
valve actuator, makes it easier for drivers to accurately access
chamber stroke lengths as well. And not just drivers, for
inspectors too. Because the unit applies the correct brake
pressure during inspections, the slack adjusters function to
their typical operating length, which can help eliminate tick-
eting for long chamber strokes often caused by too high of
pressure being applied during an inspection.

Simple Operation
The BVA-85
™
brake valve actuator uses air from the parking
brakes to keep the foot pedal applied during inspections.
By keeping the foot pedal applied, drivers and inspectors are
able to accurately inspect the vehicle, while maintaining the
highest level of safety.
