Proportioning valve horizontal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MiraclePieCo · 03-18-2018, 11:29 PM

I'm installing my brake proportioning valve - one of those big clunky brass factory-type units (actually a combination valve). Anyone know if it's okay to mount those horizontally instead of the standard vertical configuration? I can't imagine it would make a difference, but maybe there are some check valves in there that need to be upright?

Yeah, I think you're right. I just found this photo from POL showing theirs mounted horizontally:
