KE Distributor Valve

                                                        

The KE distributor valve controls proper application and release of brakes of different vehicles depending on the pneumatic pressure

prevailing in the brake pipe. It works automatically, providing graduated application and release and is pressure maintaining. The KE

distributor valve complies with the requirements of the most recent UIC specifications govering compressed air brake for freight and

passenger trains in internaitonal traffic. The KE type distributor valve is of modular design. This means that the basic valve body can

be supplemented by the connection or incorporation of appropriate accessory components required for the purpose in view.
