An assembly for a tire inflation system includes a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a housing. The housing includes a base portion (56) and a cap portion (58). The base portion has a base perforation (90). The base perforation (90) is in fluid communication with a base cavity. The cap portion (58) is attached to the base portion (56). The cap portion (58) has a cap perforation (54) formed therein. The cap perforation (54) is in selective fluid communication with the base cavity. A piston (62) is disposed in the base cavity. A first area (A1) is defined by the base perforation (90), a second area (A2) is defined by the lateral area of a cylindrical space between the piston (62) and the cap portion (58), and a third area (A3) is defined by the cap perforation (54). The second area (A2) is greater than the first area (A1) and the third area (A3).
