South Central IN | This fall, the air leveling valve on our semi (a '95 Volvo daycab) would come unhooked between the vertical rod and the valve's arm whenever we would dump the hopper quick or get on unlevel ground. This weekend, I unhooked the trailer to check it out. As it was, the arm was about 6" behind the rod and had to cross through the air lines. I think they were part of the problem, causing the rod to unhook from the arm when it could not get enough range. I flipped over the valve so that it lines up nicely with the rod and is completely away from the air lines. However, in this configuration, it will want to dump air when the arm is up and fill when it is down - the exact opposite of what it should do.
This is a Hadley valve. Do they, or someone else, make one that will work in this "flipped" setting. Basically, is there such a thing as a left hand and right hand valve so that the fill and expel function on the arm are reversed? Clear as mud?
This pic is how I would like to see it mounted if possible. Thanks for the help!
