Reed APV02 Aluminum Adjustable Proportioning Valve

Product Description

The REED APV02 is an aluminum adjustable proportioning valve designed to regulate hydraulic pressure delivered to the rear brake circuit. By reducing rear brake line pressure during hard braking events, the valve helps prevent premature rear wheel lockup and improves overall braking control. The unit installs inline in the rear brake line, making it a practical solution for brake system tuning on vehicles where stock proportioning does not match the braking demands of the application. Licensed technicians and experienced installers handle this type of component during brake system upgrades or rebuilds.

This proportioning valve is suited for applications where rear brake bias needs to be adjusted independently from the front circuit. Typical install scenarios include custom brake system builds, vehicle conversions, or performance brake upgrades where the factory proportioning valve has been removed or is incompatible with the new brake setup. The adjustable design allows the installer to fine-tune rear brake pressure to match vehicle weight distribution and brake component specifications.

Key Features

• Adjustable proportioning reduces rear brake line pressure to help prevent wheel lockup
• Aluminum construction with black finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Inline installation fits directly into the rear brake line
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of rear brake bias without replacing the valve

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline replacement or upgrade proportioning valve for vehicle rear brake circuits where adjustable pressure control is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive brake technician. Depressurize and fully bleed the brake system before disconnecting any brake lines, and ensure the vehicle is safely supported before beginning work. After installation, bleed all affected brake lines to remove air from the hydraulic circuit and verify firm pedal feel before returning the vehicle to service. Follow all applicable vehicle manufacturer service procedures and local safety codes during brake system work.
