A vehicular brake system includes a hydraulic master cylinder connected to wheel brakes via brake conduits. A pump generates fluid pressures and pressure control valves located between the master cylinder and the wheel brakes regulate the fluid pressures at the wheel brakes to achieve anti-lock and traction control functions. A medium pressure accumulator stores fluid pressurized by the pump that is supplied to the wheel brakes via associated control valves to achieve a vehicle stability control braking function. An evacuation valve is provided in the conduit in which the medium pressure accumulator is provided. The evacuation valve permits evacuation and fill of an otherwise isolated conduit without increasing cycle times or complexity of procedures during installation of the system. Additionally, the evacuation valve can be used during service of the brake system if desired.
