valve will be out and the park control valve will not
deliver air to the control port of the PP-7

valve. In this
condition supply air cannot flow past the closed plunger inlet
and the plunger exhaust valve is off its seat. With no air
pressure on the control port, the control inlet is seated and
the exhaust passage through the control piston is open.

PRESSURE
When system air pressure is greater than 50 P.S.I., the button

With the button of the PP-7

valve depressed, the plunger
inlet will be open and the exhaust valve will be seated, sealing
the exhaust vent. Supply air is permitted to flow through the
body to the control inlet and exhaust valve. With the park

body to the control inlet and exhaust valve. With the park
control valve delivering full system pressure to the control
port of the PP-7
™
valve, the control piston moves into contact
with the control valve, closing the exhaust passage through
the piston and opening the inlet. Opening the control inlet
permits supply air to flow out the delivery port of the PP-7
the piston and opening the inlet. Opening the control inlet
permits supply air to flow out the delivery port of the PP-7

NOTE: If the vehicle is parked and system air pressure is
above 50 P.S.I., the park control valve will not be
