Emergency brake release valve 100-3537110 KAMAZ, aftermarket

Emergency brake release valve 100-3537110 is an aftermarket part for the KAMAZ trucks.

The emergency brake release valve, on trucks with spring brake chambers, allows the parking brake to be released in an emergency. When pressure drops in one circuit of the air system, the spring brakes apply automatically and stop the vehicle; this valve sends compressed air from the intact circuit to the spring chambers so the vehicle can be towed or moved to a safe place. A leaking or sticking valve can release the parking brake unintentionally or fail to release it when needed.

Specifications

Compatibility

According to the product card, 100-3537110 is the emergency brake release valve used on KAMAZ trucks. Other parts are in Hydraulic valves.

Fitting

The valve is operated by a push button in the cab and connected to the air line with threaded fittings. Before the change, release the air from the system and chock the wheels. After fitting the new valve, build up pressure, check the joints with soapy water and confirm that pressing the button releases the spring brakes and releasing it applies them again. Check the valve's push button and air lines regularly, since a valve that fails in an emergency makes it harder to move a broken-down vehicle. The valve must remain within easy reach of the driver.
