Wilwood Residual Pressure Valve - New Style 10# / Red

Wilwood's two, four and ten pound residual pressure valves retain a minimum brake line pressure to help eliminate excessive pedal travel in both disc and drum brake systems. The two pound valve is used in disc brake applications where the master cylinder is mounted below the horizontal plane of the calipers and fluid drain back occurs from gravity and vibration, thereby causing excessive caliper piston retraction and a longer brake pedal stroke. The minimal two pound residual pressure prevents fluid from flowing back without causing the brakes to drag. Four pound valves can be beneficial in high vibration brake sytems such as off-road or dirt circle track racing. With drum brakes, a ten pound valve is used to compensate for return spring tension and maintain wheel cylinder sealing in the drums. Residual Pressure Valves are made from billet aluminum and color coded for easy identification. Valves with fittings are supplied with two 1/8-27 NPT to 3/8-24 inverted flare female fittings that will fit most domestic 3/16th hard brake lines.

The Wilwood Part Number wil260-13707 is a high-quality residual pressure valve designed specifically for automotive brake systems. This 10-pound residual pressure valve is ideal for use with drum brakes, helping to compensate for return spring tension and maintain proper wheel cylinder sealing. Its robust billet aluminum construction ensures durability and reliability under demanding conditions. The valve features a color-coded design for easy identification and quick installation. It includes two 1/8-27 NPT to 3/8-24 inverted flare female fittings, compatible with most domestic 3/16-inch hard brake lines, making it suitable for a variety of brake system configurations. This component is essential for ensuring consistent brake pedal feel and performance in drum brake applications, especially where fluid retention and system stability are critical. Proper installation of this residual pressure valve can help prevent brake drag, improve pedal consistency, and enhance overall braking reliability. Whether for restoration, custom builds, or racing applications, Wilwood’s residual pressure valves offer precision control and dependability for your brake system needs.
