    • Disclosed is a vent system for an axle of a heavy-duty vehicle such as a truck or tractor-trailer for reducing pressure buildup in a wheel axle for a tyre inflating system. The vent system comprises a check valve including a first end mounted on the axle; a second end; and a body disposed between the first and second ends and being in selective fluid communication with an interior of the axle. The body includes means to enable air flow from the axle interior to atmosphere when a pressure increase in the axle interior is less than about one pound per square inch and means to selectively enable air flow from the axle interior to atmosphere at a flow rate of at least about five standard cubic feet per minute. A vertically-extending exhaust tube includes a first end mounted on the second end of the check valve; and a second end being open to atmosphere and being in fluid communication with the check valve body, whereby the vent system selectively exhausts air from the axle interior to atmosphere to relieve a buildup of pneumatic pressure in the axle. The exhaust tube extends downwardly from the check valve and includes a length of from about four inches to about six inches. The axle extends through a sleeve, and the check valve first end is mounted on the axle in a window formed in the sleeve. The check valve body means selectively enables air flow from the axle interior to atmosphere at a flow rate of at least about five to ten standard cubic feet per minute when a pressure differential is less than or equal to about three pounds per square inch.
