The Bendix® TC-6™ trailer control brake valve is normally used to operate the trailer brakes independently of the tractor brakes. It may be used, however, wherever a hand controlled pressure graduation function is desired. The TC-6™ valve is handle operated and is designed for panel or dog house mounting. The TC-6™ trailer control brake valve is not designed for use as a parking brake control and should never be used to hold the brakes applied when the operator leaves the vehicle.
