It is actually a shuttle valve, if one brake circuit fails the valve will shuttle and shut off supply so you don't lose all your brake fluid and thus it keeps the other circuit braking.

Actually, the "valve" only "shuttles". It does not shut off the supply. There is even a small slot in each end of the "valve" to allow fluid to pass. The master cylinder reservoir has a small height "dam" between the front & rear fluid reservoir ports. If all of the brake fluid were lost in one brake circuit, the reservoir "dam" would retain enough fluid for the other brake circuit to function normally.
