Chuck, mine is set up a little different, do have the check valves on the inlets to the brake tanks, but also have these to prevent 12 volt compressor from feeding those tanks. I replaced them because aux compressor was trying to fill brake tanks as well as leveling valves and side bladders.

OK, I understand now.  Thanks for posting that diagram.  I'll save it for future reference.  Your air system is quite a bit more complicated than the U320 (no slides) schematic in Reply #12.  And both of the U320 air diagrams are more complicated than our U280.  I prefer my (relatively) simple setup...much easier for my old brain to comprehend.  8)

The only advantage to mine over the older system is the single check valve instead of the double one. That said, would rather have your system, or better yet a manifold with ball valves to each component, so I can do it manually.

We found the isolation valve on Ebay for $23.
