Load-Apportioning Valve Do you need a cost-effective way to control trailer braking? Typical trailer braking systems transfer a vehicle's hydrau- lic brake pressure directly to the trailer brakes. Unregulat- ed braking pressure of the trailer will cause wheel lock-up and drastically shorten tire life. The MICO® Load Appor- tioning Valve (LAV) senses the trailer load and regulates the trailer brake pressure. This eliminates wheel lock-up and unnecessary tire wear. The MICO® LAV is designed to keep the complexity and cost of the brake circuit to a minimum. For use with mineral base hydraulic oil only. • No tank port required • Eliminates the necessity for complex braking circuitry • Input pressure range from 0 to 150 bar (0 to 2176 PSI) Pressure Reduction Profile Vehicle Brake Pressure (bar)
