ABSTRACT:
An air brake system for a truck in which various control valves controlling air supply to air sub-systems, parking and trailer brakes, and various brake system condition signal generators are mounted on a common manifold positioned remotely from the truck engine compartment and instrument panel, removing them from the instrument panel area and improving the plumbing arrangements for installation, diagnostics and servicing while clearing instrument panel space for other controls and devices which need the benign environment such as that in the truck cab provided for the truck driver. The system components may be used as needed for a straight truck or one composed of a tractor and trailer combination, or on a truck tractor adapted to tow a trailer.
