What are the defects?
Certain SR-7 park brake modulating valves may have one or both of the following defects.
1. The internal rubber check valves on the SR-7 valves may deform over time and potentially result in intermittent improper seating of the check valve.
2. The valve body retainer of Park Hannifin 90 degree single check valves that attach to the supply port of SR-7 valves may, after prolonged use, break apart and become lodged inside the SR-7 valves, either causing a leak out of the SR-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the SR-7 valve.
