KM-2 Vent Valve utilizes a poppet
valve design to provide superior and
reliable venting, even in the presence
of heavy brake pipe contamination. No
screen is required at the brake pipe inlet. Service
proven KM-2 vent valves are used in locomotive
applications and in long car applications with DB-60L.
Three-Position Retaining Valve is
constructed of high strength, noncorrosive
composite materials. The valve offers high
reliability and long life–it is 40% lighter, and
uses 30% fewer parts than the existing design.
Fittings include a complete line
of AAR-approved straight and
elbow socket-weld fittings.

freight car sizes.
New York Air Brake offers a complete range of AAR-certified
Rubber Replacement Parts, each with a full one-year warranty.
Two-Compartment Emergency
and Auxiliary Reservoirs
are available in standard

testing of these rugged,
lightweight units ensures that
they will remain maintenance-free for the life of the car.

to protect the integrity of the air circulating throughout the brake
system, and the sump (bowl) is easily removed for cleaning. The
cutout function closes communication between the control valve and the brake pipe.
