The Wilwood Residual Pressure Valve (Part #wil260-13706) is designed to optimize brake system performance by maintaining a consistent minimum pressure within the brake lines. Constructed from durable billet aluminum and color-coded in blue for easy identification, this valve is suitable for various hydraulic brake applications. It effectively prevents brake fluid from flowing back, thereby reducing pedal travel and ensuring prompt brake engagement. The 2-pound residual pressure setting is ideal for disc brake systems where the master cylinder is mounted below the calipers, preventing caliper piston retraction caused by gravity or vibration. This results in a more responsive pedal feel and quicker braking response. The valve is supplied with two 1/8-27 NPT to 3/8-24 inverted flare female fittings, compatible with most domestic 3/16-inch hard brake lines, making installation straightforward and secure. Its minimal pressure setting prevents brake drag while maintaining reliable caliper operation, contributing to safer and more efficient braking performance. Suitable for use in custom, off-road, or racing applications, this valve is an essential component for maintaining optimal brake line pressure and ensuring consistent braking behavior across a range of vehicle types. Whether upgrading an existing system or building a new one, the Wilwood Residual Pressure Valve provides dependable performance and easy installation for professional and DIY enthusiasts alike.
