Proportionong valve question
I had a leak in my proportioning valve which bled the lines dry. I removed it this moring and found the leak. Where the rear line screws into the valve there is a nut that can be removed from the valve itself. On a side of that nut there is a hole that is covered by a smallpiece of rubber. The rubber is held in place by a star washer. My star washer was missing and I had another to replace it with. What does this do? Is it a pressure relief valve or something? Would like to know what its purpose is.
