Introduction
Brake hydraulic systems need various type
of control devices
Braking performance must be even and
consistent
Combination disc/drum systems require
different type of valves
Metering Valve
Purpose of Valve
Location/construction of
metering valve
Operation of metering
valve
Bleeding system with a
metering valve
Metering Valve
Hydraulically
operated switch
Located between
front and rear
systems
Some systems use a
low fluid level
switch instead of
a pressure Diff
Switch
Combination Valve
Combines 2 or 3
functions
Metering valve
Warning switch
Proportioning
valve
3 Function Combination Valve
Hydraulic System Bleeding
Brake Bleeding and Bleeder Screws
