What is the purpose of the residual check valve at the fluid outlet on older master cylinders?

What will be an ideal response?


The purpose of this check valve is to keep a small amount of residual pressure (6-25psi) in the brake system when the brakes are not applied. This helps keep the wheel cylinder rubber cup sealed against the wall of the wheel cylinder to prevent air from entering.
