The Feed-Valve Pipe

insures that the excess-pressure governor head will regulate the brake-pipe pressure in release position (as the brake-pipe and main-reservoir pressures are then in direct connection through the rotary valve), even though the feed valve is leaking, if not enough to be otherwise detrimental.

it is practically the same as the feed valve just described, but without the duplex adjusting feature, being designed to reduce main-reservoir pressure to a single fixed pressure, which in this equipment is, as already stated,

The C-6 Reducing Valve

45 pounds. It is, in fact, the well-known feed valve that has been used for many years in connection with the G-6 brake-valve, the only distinction being in the name; but, as here used, it is attached to a pipe bracket in the same manner as the B-6 valve. To adjust this valve, remove the cap nut on the end of the spring box; this will expose the adjusting nut by which the adjustment is effected.

The pipe bracket upon which the C-6 Reducing Valve is mounted is the same as is used with the B-6 feed valve-the crossed-passage bracket, in the No. 6 equipment, and the valve turned down in its proper position.
