IMPORTANT: A vented, socket head vent plug is
installed in some SS-1

DESCRIPTION
The SS-1 ™ shut-off valve (fi gure 1) is a pilot operated,
air controlled, on-off, non-graduating, non-exhausting
pneumatic control valve. The valve is primarily used to
delay, sequence, or control airfl ow from various devices in
the air brake system. It can be operated either in a pilot or
automatic mode using different air connection methods.
The SS-1 ™ valve is a general purpose valve used in a
variety of applications on trucks, buses, tractors, trailers
and converter dollies. It is offered in a variety of pressure
settings to accommodate applications where automatic
operation is required. The most common application of
the SS-1
™ valve is in the tractor protection system of a
truck tractor.
Important Note: The SS-1 ™ shut-off valve is
application specifi c due to its pressure settings. It is
therefore important to use the proper part number
when replacement is required.
IN ADDITION: The
SS-1 ™ shut-off valve and SV-1 ™ synchro valves are
identical in appearance and similar in operation but
have substantial internal differences and must not
be confused or used interchangeably. The SV-1
™
synchro valve incorporates an internal exhaust passage
through its piston, which allows delivery pressure to
be vented to atmosphere while the SS-1
™ does not.
Refer to Service Data Sheet, SD-03-4020, for more
information on the SV-1
™ synchro valve. Service Data
Sheets can be obtained by calling 1-800-AIR-BRAKE
or by visiting www.bendix.com on the Internet.
