Technical Details

Specifications

Construction

Material
6061-T6 Aluminium Lightweight, high-strength alloy
Finish
Black Anodised Protects against wear and corrosion

Operation

Valve Type
Adjustable Brake Proportioning Valve Reduces hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit downstream of the valve
Typical Installation
Rear Brake Circuit Typically installed between the master cylinder rear brake outlet and the rear brake line t-piece Allows rear brake pressure to be reduced to optimise brake balance
Adjustment Type
Continuous Knob Adjustment Fine adjustment without fixed click positions
Minimum Pressure Reduction
Fully Clockwise Provides the closest setting to having no bias valve in the brake circuit A bias valve cannot increase pressure above that supplied by the braking system
Adjustment Direction
Counter-Clockwise to Reduce Pressure Progressively reduces hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes as the knob is turned counter-clockwise
Maximum Pressure Reduction
Fully Counter-Clockwise Provides maximum rear brake pressure reduction of approximately 60%

For a sensible starting point: turn the knob fully clockwise, then fully counter-clockwise while counting the number of turns. Turn it clockwise by half that number to position the valve at mid-range before fine-tuning the brake balance.

Inlet & Outlet Threads

1/8"-27 NPT Two female threaded ports

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is a brake bias proportioning valve used for?

    This valve allows you to fine-tune the front-to-rear brake pressure distribution in your vehicle. It's essential for optimising braking performance, particularly in high-performance, track, or modified road cars, by preventing rear wheel lock-up and enhancing overall stability during braking.

  • What are the technical specifications of this valve?

    Key bias valve specifications include:

    • Pressure Adjustment Range: 100–1000 PSI
    • Maximum Pressure Reduction: 57%
    • Inlet/Outlet Ports: 1/8"-27 NPT
    • Supplied Adapters: 2x AN3 (3/8"-24 UNF) Female (Brass)
    • Optional Adapters: 2x AN3 (3/8"-24 UNF) Male (Stainless Steel) for an additional cost
  • How do I install the brake bias valve?

    Installation involves integrating the bias valve into the brake line leading to the rear brakes. Connect the 'IN' port to the line from the master cylinder and the 'OUT' port to the rear brake line. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. It's recommended to mount the valve in an accessible location for easy adjustments. You can design your own custom braided brake lines if you don't already have suitable brake lines.

  • How do I adjust the brake bias using this valve?

    Adjust the valve by turning the knob:

    • Clockwise: Increases rear brake pressure
    • Counter-clockwise: Decreases rear brake pressure

    Start with the brake bias valve fully open (maximum reduction) and gradually adjust while performing test stops to achieve the desired braking balance.

  • Is this bias valve compatible with your custom braided hoses?

    Yes, the valve is compatible with our range of custom braided brake hoses. The supplied and optional adapters ensure seamless integration with various brake line configurations.

  • Is the adjustable brake bias proportioning valve reusable?

    Yes, the brake bias valve is designed for repeated use. It can be adjusted as needed and transferred to different vehicles or setups, provided it's in good working condition.
