Wilwood Residual Pressure Valve

Universal Fitment

Part #: 260-13706

Overview

The Wilwood 2lb Residual Pressure Valve is a precision-engineered component designed to maintain a minimal brake line pressure in disc and drum brake systems. This valve is ideal for performance enthusiasts and professional builders seeking to improve brake pedal feel and responsiveness. By preventing caliper piston retraction caused by gravity and vibration, it helps ensure consistent brake performance and reduces pedal travel, resulting in a more confident and controlled driving experience. Whether you're restoring a classic vehicle or upgrading a high-performance setup, this residual pressure valve supports reliable braking operation and enhances overall safety.

Key Features

This residual pressure valve is crafted from durable materials to withstand the rigors of high-performance braking. Its compact design allows for easy installation in various brake line configurations. The valve's minimal 2-pound setting is specifically tailored for disc brake applications where the master cylinder is mounted below the calipers, helping to prevent fluid drain-back and caliper piston retraction. Its simple, reliable operation ensures consistent brake pedal feel and response, making it an essential component for race cars, off-road vehicles, and custom builds that demand precise brake control.

Construction & Design

Constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, the Wilwood residual pressure valve features a precision-machined body and a reliable internal spring mechanism. Its compact design ensures compatibility with a wide range of brake line setups, and the minimal pressure setting is optimized for disc brake systems to prevent fluid drain-back without causing excessive pressure buildup.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic brake line tools. The valve is designed to be integrated into the brake line circuit, typically near the master cylinder or caliper, depending on your specific setup. Proper fitment should be verified against your vehicle's brake configuration and the part number.

What’s Included

The package includes the Wilwood 2lb Residual Pressure Valve, along with necessary fittings for secure installation. Additional hardware or adapters are not typically required but should be confirmed based on your specific application.
