Yes, there is a manual valve that you push the button on top to set it and when you push on the brake pedal it automatically releases.  I have one on a car I am building.  The electric ones remain on until you release them with a switch.

Don't they sell the Line Loc that is basically a manual valve that you close once you step on the brake pedal?  The old style was no more than a way to keep the brake fluid from traveling back up to the master cylinder which kept the brakes in a closed position until you released it.
