278997N Bendix foot brake valve. The foot valve is how the driver applies air to the brakes: pedal travel sets the pressure delivered, up to the reservoir pressure, and the valve holds that pressure steady while the pedal is held. Letting off the pedal exhausts the air and the brakes release. A worn valve tends to show as a soft pedal, poor modulation or longer stops, so check it for wear, corrosion and leaks. A genuine Bendix part from Pro Gear and Transmission. Call us to confirm proper fit for your application.
A factory handling fee of $20.00 per unit is added at checkout.
