Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems DV-2 AUTO RESERVOIR DRAIN VLV 10/11 - Manual

1
DESCRIPTION
The Bendix ® DV-2 ™ automatic reservoir drain valve ejects moisture and
contaminants from the reservoir in which it is connected. It operates
automatically and requires no manual assistance or control lines from
other sources.
The automatic reservoir drain valve has a die cast aluminum body and
cover and is normally mounted either in the bottom of the reservoir using
the top port of the drain valve or in the end of an end drain reservoir
using the side port of the valve.
The DV-2 ™ valve is also available with a heater and thermostat cast
into the cover for vehicles operated in subfreezing temperatures. The
heated DV-2
™ valve is supplied in either a 12 or 24 volt model and in
bottom or end drain confi guration. A 1/4” male pipe adapter is supplied
with all DV-2
™ drain valves, end drain and bottom drain, both standard
and heated. This adapter should be installed directly into the reservoir.
Early versions included a fi lter screen in the adapter. The fi lter should
be discarded. Later versions may have a standard pipe nipple instead
of the adapter.
