M&G brake system
The quick-connect is on the accessory circuit. If it failed open, the
air would bleed down to no less than the pressure-protection valve's pre-set limit, protecting the air supply to the front and rear air brake circuits (the red and green pointers are for the two air-brake system tanks, not the accessory system). Ditto for an air-bag failure, protected. - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Leroy Eckert" > > Hi folks: > I don't have a dog in this hunt and do not have a plumbing diagram of my bus air system. Now you got me wondering. I pull a trailer with electric brakes. My bus was factory fitted with a quick disconnect in roadside bay #3 , to be used for blowing up the tires. The pilot air gauge has two pointers, red and green, indicating redundant systems. Dumb question? If the quick disconnect in bay #3 failed would I lose all air to the brakes or is there a check valve somewhere that would prevent the event? If not, I may consider changing the quick disconnect to an manual shutoff valve. > > Thanks for your input. > > Leroy Eckert > 1990 WB40 > Niceville, FL > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: smquandt > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 2:28 PM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: M&G brake system > > > I used a SMI silent partner on a PT-40/Honda CRV combination, and > like it.
