Dual Circuit Foot Valve The Simple Dual Circuit System In this diagram, the blue lines indicate “supply air”, the red lines indicate “secondary” or front brake air and the green lines indicate “primary” or rear brake air. A dual circuit foot valve has been installed. This foot valve works in exactly the same way as a single circuit foot valve. However, the dual circuit foot valve is split internally into two parts. The upper part delivers application air to the front brakes, while the lower part delivers application air to the rear brakes.

The Simple Dual Circuit System One-way check valves have been added at the inlets to the primary and secondary reservoirs. Should an air loss occur at the supply reservoir these one-way check valves will prevent the air from the primary and secondary reservoirs from back-flowing into the supply reservoir.
