Brake Valve 383

Brake equipment for railways and metros. Brake valve No. 383.

The conditional Brake valve No. 383 is used to engage and disengage air distributors and has two handle positions: along the pipe – valve open, across the pipe – valve closed.

There is an atmospheric hole “a” in the conical bronze plug of the valve for communication of the air distributor with the atmosphere when the valve is closed.

This hole is made to prevent the self-braking of the turned-off air distributor in case of a disconnecting valve bypass.
