Where is the safety (relief) valve located in an air brake system, and at approximately what pressure is it normally set to open?

AAMVA CDL Manual, Section 5.1.6 (Safety Valve), p. 5-2; 49 CFR 383.111(b)(5)(i) (automatic fail-safe devices)

Why This Matters

The safety valve is the last line of defense against an overpressurized air system. If a driver ever hears it releasing air during normal operation, that is a sign of a governor malfunction that must be repaired immediately, not something to ignore.
