An electronically controlled pneumatic brake system for a vehicle, with a normal brake operating mode (NOM) and a backup brake operating mode (BKM), said system comprising: a front axle brake module (FBM) for providing pneumatic control pressure to the left and right front pneumatic brake actuators (FW-L, FW-R), one or more rear axle brake module (RBM) for providing pneumatic control pressure to the left and right rear pneumatic brake actuators (RW-L, RW-R), a trailer brake interface (5), an air production module (6) selectively providing air under pressure to said axles electronic brake modules (FBM, RBM) via first and second air supply circuits (AC1,AC2), a trailer relay valve (1), wherein each of the front and rear axle brake modules (FBM, RBM) is controlled by an electrical control signal (NBC, ES1,ES2) under the normal brake operating mode (NOM) and is controlled by a pneumatic backup brake control line (BKC) under the backup brake operating mode (BKM), wherein the output (12) of trailer relay valve is connected to the trailer brake interface (5) under the normal brake operating mode (NOM), and the output (12) of trailer relay valve is connected to the pneumatic backup brake control line (BKC) under the backup brake operating mode (BKM).

A valve for an air brake system on a commercial vehicle comprises a body, an inlet port connected to the body and at least one delivery port connected to the body. The inlet port has a threaded portion distal to the body and a hex portion proximate to the body. The hex portion includes a frangible feature in substantially the mid-point of the hex portion such that the valve can easily be removed from an air brake reservoir when the valve is broken at the frangible feature.
