The plain triple valve is used on engines and tenders exclu-sively. As its name implies, it is a combination of three valves,and is so constructed that, when a reduction in pressure in thetrain pipe occurs from any cause, all three valves will operatein such a manner as to apply the brakes. 35. Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional views through the body ofthe plain triple valve, and show the valve in two names of the various parts, as numbered and lettered inthe figures, are as follows: 27 is the triple body; 11 is the.
