DESCRIPTION
In a trailer air brake system, the SR-2
 spring brake 
valve controls the functioning of the spring brakes during 
parking and emergency applications. It is responsible for 
automatically applying the spring brakes and preventing 
trailer air pressure loss in the event of breakaway or supply 
line failure. The SR-2
 valve also prevents the automatic 
application of the trailer spring brakes after the loss of trailer 
service reservoir pressure while allowing failure indication 
to occur in the tractor.
The SR-2
 valve is provided with one 3/4” male pipe thread 
connection for mounting the valve to the trailer brake 
reservoir. Other porting includes:
One - 1/4” pipe thread supply port
Four - 3/8” pipe thread delivery ports
Two - 1/4” pipe thread service reservoir ports
One - 3/8” pipe thread exhaust port
OPERATION
CHARGING (Figure 2)
Air from the trailer supply line enters the SR-2
 valve 
trailer supply port and moves the control piston into contact 
with the control inlet and exhaust valve, sealing off the 
exhaust passage through the control piston, and opening 
the inlet. Air entering the supply port is also conducted 
to the underside of the pressure protection piston. When 
air pressure builds to approximately 55 psi beneath the 
pressure protection piston, the piston moves against the 
force of the piston spring and the pressure protection inlet 
valve opens and remains open. Air fl owing past the open 
pressure protection valve opens the service reservoir check 
valve. Air passing through the service reservoir check
