DESCRIPTION:
The Bendix
® 
SR-1
 spring brake valve is used in dual 
or “split” air brake systems equipped with spring brake 
actuators. The function of the SR-1 valve is to supply a 
specifi c, limited hold-off pressure to the spring brakes, and 
in the event of the loss of No. 1 service air pressure, to 
modulate the spring brakes through the use of the service 
brake valve.
The valve has four identifi ed 1/4" N.P.T.F. ports and a 
diaphragm protected exhaust port. Two 5/16" diameter 
holes are provided in the integral mounting bracket of the 
valve body. The SR-1 valve must be mounted with the 
exhaust port down toward the road surface.
OPERATION - INITIAL AIR SYSTEM CHARGE 
Air fl owing from the No. 1 reservoir only enters the reservoir 
port of the SR-1 valve. This air remains under piston A as 
system pressure builds. With No. 1 reservoir pressure 
below approximately 55 P.S.I. the spring above piston A 
forces it into contact with inlet and exhaust valve A causing 
the exhaust to seal and the inlet to open.  Refer to Figure 3.
With air system pressure above approximately 55 P.S.I. in 
No. 1 & 2 service reservoirs, piston A has moved against 
the force of the spring above it, allowing the inlet of valve A 
to close and opening the hollow exhaust passage through 
piston A. Refer to Figure 4.
