COMPONENTS
Components of the anti-g system include a valve, a
system filter, and quick-disconnects.
Anti-g Valve
The anti-g valve (fig. 5-13) is automatically
controlled by any positive or negative g-force. The
anti-g valve receives air from the high-pressure bleed
system and regulates it to a maximum of 10 psi for
delivery to the g-suit. The anti-g valve incorporates an
internal demand, exhaust, and relief valve. The internal
