A tire inflation system safety valve includes at least an air line disposed between a rotary union and a tire communicating with an axle supporting a hubcap, the rotary union axially aligned with the axle and mounted to the hubcap. The air line facilitating pressurized air transferred between the rotary union and the tire. The tire inflation system safety valve including at least a valve housing providing a valve activation chamber, a fluid conduit, supported by the valve housing, having a downstream end and an upstream end and in fluid communication with the valve activation chamber, and a diaphragm disposed within the valve activation chamber and communicating with the fluid conduit. The diaphragm, in response to the pressurized air of a predetermined pressure, automatically precludes air transfer between the upstream end of the fluid conduit and the downstream end of the fluid conduit.
