Resid. Press Valve 10lb

The Wilwood Residual Pressure Valve 10lb (Part Number 260-13707) is a compact brake system component designed to maintain consistent residual pressure in drum brake applications. This aluminum valve, finished in red anodize, regulates backpressure to prevent brake fade and ensure reliable modulation during sustained braking conditions. The 10-pound pressure setting is engineered for specific drum brake configurations where maintaining minimum line pressure is critical to pedal feel and stopping consistency.

Featuring 1/8 inch NPT inlet and outlet ports, this valve integrates directly into existing brake line networks without requiring adapter fittings. The compact 1.600-inch length and lightweight 0.09-pound design minimize installation footprint, making it suitable for vehicles where space constraints demand efficient component packaging. The aluminum construction with red anodize finish provides corrosion resistance in both on-road and harsh environmental conditions. Wilwood's residual pressure valves are precision-manufactured to SAE specifications, ensuring accurate pressure regulation across thermal cycling and extended duty cycles.

This component addresses a fundamental need in drum brake systems: preventing air from entering the brake lines during the release stroke. Without adequate residual pressure, drum brakes can develop a soft pedal, increased stopping distance, and unpredictable modulation. The 10-pound setting suits drum brake applications in street-driven vehicles and light-duty trucks where consistent, fade-free performance is required. Technicians and brake system builders rely on Wilwood residual pressure valves as OEM-quality components for restoration, upgrade, and repair work.

Brake system performance depends on component integration. The 10-pound rating is a standard specification within Wilwood's drum brake valve lineup, allowing builders to match valve selection to their specific brake system design and wheel cylinder displacement. Proper residual pressure setting is verified during system bleed and testing; this valve can be bench-tested and replaced without removing the entire brake system.
