AP SHUTTLE VALVE ASSEMBLY
The shuttle valve is a means of feeding two input hydraulic systems into one output. The output pressure will be as the largest input. A typical usage to separate a hydraulic hand brake from the foot brake system is illustrated opposite.
IMPORTANT: Foot brake and hand brake master cylinders must be fed from a common reservoir as indicted. When brake is operated from one source, this valve will decay at a rate of about 6 Bars over 10 minutes.
As such it should not be used to park the car for long periods unattended.
