The Replacement Check Valve for Demco SBS Supplemental Braking Systems # SM99909 required for all towed vehicles that don't have a diesel engine and are not Hummers.
A vacuum pump check valve for automobiles, also known as a vacuum check valve, is a part of your car that's responsible for making your vacuum pump system work. This valve seals and holds the vacuum flow up for energy-efficient and completely safe operation. You need it, for example, for your vehicle to brake properly.
