The Hydraulic Brake System relies on the Brake Proportioning Valve for its delicate transfer of energy between your foot and brake pedal to exert thousands of pounds of clamping pressure to every corner of your vehicle instantaneously. This way, feathering the brake pedal seamlessly transfers minuet control to the 11-inch discs of your Ferrari moving at 160 MPH. Likewise when you mash the pedal of your F-350, the brakes clamp with zero lag keeping that two ton trailer on your hitch from wearing you like a hood ornament.

Your brake proportioning valve does the grunt work in your brake system by distributing force to where it needs to be to stop your vehicle in the shortest distance possible. The rule of thumb is 70/30- meaning that about 70 percent of your braking takes place between your front brakes while the remaining 30 percent is absorbed by your rear brakes. It’s up to the brake proportioning valve to makes sure this division of force takes place.
