1.0 DESCRIPTION
The VX Vent Valve Portion is a double
diaphragm
type valve
which, when properly installed and
maintained,
functions to
deplete brake pipe air locally at a rapid rate to assist in
propagating
an
emergency
brake
application
whenever the
main line of brake pipe is reduced at an emergency rate.
The VX Vent Valve Portion features increased emergency
venting capacity and jump distance capabilities. A unique
diaphragm
design
incorporated
within the Portion eliminates
the need for a separate venting piston and provides a self-

RELEASE AND
RUNNING
Brake pipe air under
pressure
entering Port 1 flows through
the metal screen filter into cavity b, on the non-spring side of
the vent valve
diaphragm assembly,
through passage B into
cavity b1, above the
control diaphragm
and piston assembly,
past the control piston seat of the body and into cavity b2 on
the spring side of the vent valve diaphragm assembly. Brake
pipe air flow continues through the passage in the seated
piston where it is blockedby the exhaust valve. Brake pipe

Vent Valve Portion at one
location (in a train consist) aids in producing an emergency

The VX Vent Valve Portion is designed so that it can be
readily removed from the pipe bracket, laminate, mounting
plate, or branch pipe tee on which it is mounted, for
maintenance or repair. Provision is made for the attachment
of a vent protector arrangement at the exhaust port of the

The VX Vent Valve Portion may be used in equipment
arrangements where the air pressure does not exceed 150
psig. Special installation procedures are required when
installing the VX Vent Valve Portion in specific equipment
arrangements. Consult your Wabtec Corporation

EMERGENCY
-
FIRST
STAGE
When an emergency rate of brake pipe reduction occurs,
the brake pipe
air
pressure
in cavities b, b1
and
b2 is reduced
rapidly
creating a
differential between the brake pipe
pressure
in cavities b, b1 and b2 and the air pressure in the control
pressure volume
Q. This
causes
the
control diaphragm
and
piston
assembly
to move,
unseating
the piston stem from its
seat
on
the exhaust valve and seating the
piston on
the
piston
seat of the body. The
seating
of the piston
isolates
cavity b2
from cavity b1. Air pressure in cavity b2 is then directed to
exhaust through
the
passage
in the
unseated
piston stem at
the exhaust valve. Cavityb2 is
exhausted quickly
due to its
small
volume.
2.3
EMERGENCY
-
SECOND
STAGE
The rapid exhaust of air pressure from cavity b2 creates a
differential on the non-spring side
of
the
vent
valve
diaphragm
assembly causing
this
assembly
to move
away
from its seat
and connects brake pipe
air from port 1
and
cavities b
and
b1
to exhaust (Port EX). Air pressure in the control pressure
volume Q then flows to atmosphere through the charging
choke of the control piston, cavity b1, passage B, cavity b
and port EX, when the air pressure in the control pressure
volume
Q is vented, the vent
valve diaphragm assembly
and
the control diaphragm and piston
assembly
are returned to
the
Release
Position bythe force exertedbythe spring.

SAFETY PROCEDURES AND
WARNINGS
WARNINGS:
The following
statements
of warning
apply
all or in part
wherever the symbol appears in the maintenance
procedures. Failure to observe these
precautions
may
result in serious injury to those performing the work
and/orbystanders.
•The use of an air jet, which must be less than 30
p.s.i.g., to blow parts clean or to blow them dry
after being cleaned with a solvent will cause
particles of dirt and/or droplets of the cleaning
solvent to be airborne. Wire brushing may also
cause particles of dirt, rust, and scale to become
airborne. These conditions may cause skin and/or
eye irritation.
•When using an air jet, do not direct it toward
another
person.
Improper
use of air jet could result
in bodily injury.
•Personal eye protection must be worn when
performing any work on this device or its
components parts to avoid any possible injury to
the eyes.
•The use of
solvents
as
cleaning
agents and the use
of lubricants can involve health and/or safety
hazards. The manufacturers of the solvents and
lubricants should
be
contacted
for
safety
data (such
as OSHA Form OSHA-20 or its equivalent). The
recommended precautions and procedures of the
manufacturers should be followed.
•When performing any test or work on devices or
equipment while they are on the vehicle (on car
test, etc.)
special precautions must be taken to
insure
that vehicle movement will not occur which could
result in injury to personnel and/or damage to
equipment.
•Assembly may be under a spring load. Exercise
caution during disassembly so that no parts "Fly
Out" and cause bodily injury.
•All air supply and/or electric current to this device
and/or to any components part must be cut-off
before this device and/or any component part is
removed from the equipment arrangement.
•"Bottled" up air under pressure (even though air
supply
is cut-off)
may cause gaskets and/or
particles
of dirt to
become airborne
and an
increase
in sound
level when this device and/or any component part
is removed from the equipment arrangement.
•Personal eye and ear protection must be worn and
care
taken
to
avoid possible injury
when performing
any work on this device and/or component part.

•To prevent receiving electrical shock when
performing electrical test, hands must be clear of
electrical components, contacts and housing and
the required "in-lab" grounding procedures must
be
strictly adhered
to.
A wooden
work
bench
should
be used.
Failure
to heed this
WARNING could
result
in severe injury or death.
•An adequate support or lifting device must be
available to support the Device and/or Valve
Portion(s) during removal, installation and
maintenance procedures.

7.3.13 Install the diaphragm - piston - follower- piston stem
sub-assembly (10 to 18) as a unit into the housing (19) so
that the piston stem with o-ring (17, 18) enters the bushing in
the
housing
(19) and the outer bead of the
diaphragm
(15) fits
into the bead groove of the housing (19). Apply finger
pressure
to
seat
the
bead
ofthe
diaphragm
(15)initsgroove.
7.3.14
Install
the
control
spring(8)overthe
exposed
threads of
the piston stem (17) so that the spring (8) seats on the top of

7.3.15
Install
a
NEW
diaphragm
(7)in
place
in
thefilling
piece (9)
so that the metal spring cup of the diaphragm faces the
filling
piece (9) and the bead of the
diaphragm
(7) enters the bead
grooveof the
filling
piece(9).
Apply
finger
pressure
to seatthe
beadof the
diaphragm
in its groove.
7.3.16 Place the diaphragm clamping ring (6) over the
diaphragm
(7) and on the
filling
piece (9) being sure that the
threescrewholesoftheclampingplate(6)are
aligned
with the
tappedholesin the fillingpiece (9).
7.3.17
Install
three#8x1/2" buttonheadscrews(5) through the
aligned holes
of the
diaphragmclamping

piece (9). Equally tighten the screws to maintain alignment
and secure the sub-assembly. Torque the screws to 20-23
in-lbs.
7.3.18Install a NEW 51/4" O.D. o-ring (4) into its groove in
the filling piece (9). Apply Number 2 Silicon Grease,
Wabtec Corporation Specification M-7680-2 to the O-ring
and groove.
7.3.19Place the filling piece - diaphragm sub-assembly (4
to 9) ontothe
housing
(19) and over the spring (8) so that the
