    If you have an M105A2 with an undamaged valve ...

    Looks a little smaller in diameter. My regulator is mounted directly on my compressor so I ain't much help here.

    I posted some pictures (assembled and disassembed) on the Emergency Relay Valve Problems thread. They should tell you what you need to know.

    OK, here's what I've been able to find out so far. New Midland valve $135.00, my cos.t Rebuilt Midland valve $66.00, my cost. Rebuild kit $42.00, my cost. The wasp excluder is not available by itself, but IS included in the rebuild kit. If it was me, I'd probably go with the kit and rebuild the...

    Kaiser, The Bendix replacement is an RE-6 Relay Emergency Valve. I can email you their Quick Reference Catalog and Air Brake Handbook as .pdf files; or post it to the library if there's enough general interest. Let me know.

    Another thing the emergency relay valve does is to enable a graduated application, based on what the service line is telling it, should air pressure be lost; so you can stay in control of the vehicle instead of having the brakes apply all at once, stranding you out in a traffic lane. And, in the...

    Kaiser, The Bendix wasp excluders are just held in with a spring clip. The whole plastic assy. slides in and the retainer keeps it in place. Not sure how the Midlands are. I'll have to do a little more studying. OPCOM, I can get the Bendix parts once we know which valve you have.

    I'll go by the brake shop tomorrow and get what they have in servicable vents. Any I end up with, you guys are welcome to. Since nothing is supposed to get close to the vent it's likely that the plastic just deteriorated over time or that it was smacked by a wayward wrench or tire-propelled...

    My air brake shop IDed it and says they have some core relay valves that can be parted out. I think there's a Bendix replacement if you want to switch brands. Sounds like they all mount the same and do the same job.

    Here are some pictures of the relay valves on the baby HEMTT so you can see what the vents look like. Almost all of the brake parts are Bendix and I've got a friend checking on the vents but he thinks they're only available as part of a rebuilt kit and not serviced seperately. The other vent is...

    RE: Emergency Relay Valve problems The exhaust Kenny is refering to has to be allowed to vent or the brakes won't release. The rubber on the end of the vent helps keep out dust but more importantly, it keeps out nesting insects. It's called a 'wasp excluder' for a very good reason.
