This is a BPR1-type bobtail proportioning relay valve for heavy-duty truck air brake systems. It combines a standard relay valve (lower section) with a proportioning valve (upper section) to automatically reduce air pressure to the rear brakes when the tractor is operating without a trailer (bobtail mode). By lowering rear brake force, it prevents wheel lockup and improves stability and control during solo tractor operation. The valve opens at a crack pressure of 4.0 PSI and is replaced when it fails to properly modulate pressure, causing uneven braking or rear wheel lockup while bobtailing.
Designed for any heavy-duty tractor with air brakes that needs bobtail brake modulation; verify port sizes (1/2" NPT supply, 3/8" NPT delivery, 1/8" NPT control, 1/4" NPT service) and crack pressure match OEM specification.
