Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the valve is for self-propelled passenger vehicles or for use in manufacturing brake systems for subway cars
This item covers air brake parts for specific self-propelled vehicles and subway brake system manufacturing, which may apply depending on the end-use.
If the valve is a brake beam specifically designed for railway vehicles
Brake beams are classified separately, so this alternative applies if the product is a brake beam rather than a check valve.
