Technical Details

Specifications

Design & Construction

Type
Adjustable Brake Proportioning Valve Reduces hydraulic pressure downstream of the valve
Material
6061-T6 Aluminium Lightweight, high-strength alloy
Finish
Black Anodised Protects against wear and corrosion

Connections

Inlet
1/8"-27 NPT Female Tapered thread · Use suitable thread sealant
Outlet
1/8"-27 NPT Female Tapered thread · Use suitable thread sealant

Connect the IN port from the master cylinder circuit and the OUT port towards the rear brakes.

Operation

Typical Installation
Rear Brake Circuit Typically installed between the master cylinder and rear brake line t-piece
Adjustment Type
Continuous Knob Adjustment Fine adjustment without fixed click positions
Minimum Pressure Reduction
Fully Clockwise Closest setting to having no proportioning valve in the circuit
Adjustment Direction
Counter-Clockwise to Reduce Pressure Progressively reduces rear brake pressure
Maximum Pressure Reduction
Approximately 60% Fully counter-clockwise

The valve can only reduce downstream pressure; it cannot increase pressure above that supplied by the braking system.

Starting point: count the total turns from fully clockwise to fully counter-clockwise, then return the knob halfway to begin fine-tuning.

Brake Hose Adapter Options

Available brake hose adapter configurations
Selection Brake Hose Connection
2 x Brass Adapters
For 3/8"-24 UNF Male Concave Fittings Standard adapter configuration
2 x Stainless Steel Adapters
For 3/8"-24 UNF Female Concave Fittings Optional adapter configuration

Both adapter options install into the valve's 1/8"-27 NPT female inlet and outlet ports.

Mounting & Installation

Mounting Holes
2 x M6 For secure mounting
Installation Position
Accessible Location Allows adjustment after installation
Flow Direction
IN → OUT Follow the marked valve direction

Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation and check all connections for leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What does a brake bias proportioning valve do?

    It reduces hydraulic pressure to the rear brake circuit, allowing the front-to-rear brake balance to be adjusted.

  • How is the brake bias adjusted?

    The knob provides continuous adjustment without fixed click positions. Turning it counter-clockwise progressively reduces rear brake pressure.

  • How much can the valve reduce rear brake pressure?

    At the fully counter-clockwise setting, the valve provides approximately 60% maximum pressure reduction. Fully clockwise gives the minimum reduction.

  • Where should the brake bias valve be installed?

    It is typically installed in the rear brake circuit between the master cylinder and rear brake line t-piece.

  • Which connections are on the valve?

    The valve has 1/8"-27 NPT female inlet and outlet ports. Use suitable thread sealant on the tapered NPT connections.

  • Which brake hose adapters are available?

    Choose brass adapters for 3/8"-24 UNF male concave fittings or stainless steel adapters for 3/8"-24 UNF female concave fittings.

  • Can the valve increase rear brake pressure?

    No. The valve can only reduce hydraulic pressure downstream; it cannot increase pressure above that supplied by the braking system.

  • What is a good starting point when setting the valve?

    Count the total turns from fully clockwise to fully counter-clockwise, then return the knob halfway before beginning fine adjustment.

  • Is a mounting solution available?

    Yes. A dedicated Brake Bias Valve Mounting Cage is available separately.
