FC51 Series 3-Port Pressure Compensated Priority Flow Control Valve 0-30 GPM Flow Range

Description & Features

Engineered for precise flow control the FC51 Series 3-Port Pressure Compensated Priority Flow Control Valve delivers a flow range of 0-30 GPM. Its cast iron body and steel spool material ensure durability and reliable performance. The valve's spool is precision ground and chrome plated for long life with a diamond honed spool bore that ensures a consistent fit and minimal leakage.

Designed with a unique compensator spool this valve maintains constant flow while adjusting for pressure variations making it ideal for industrial applications. The FC-51-3/4 allows for variable flow control as the lever is rotated with fluid moving past the orifice to the compensator spool and then out of the controlled flow port. This valve can also be used as a 2-port flow control by plugging the excess flow port and limiting flow to 50% of its rated capacity for optimal performance.

Factory tested for shutoff linearity maximum flow and pressure compensation the FC-51-3/4 ensures top-tier performance in demanding settings. It is recommended to use a 30-micron filtration for optimal operation of this valve.
