FC51 Series 3-Port Pressure Compensated Priority Flow Control Valve 0-16 GPM Flow Range

Description & Features

The FC51 Series 3-Port Pressure Compensated Priority Flow Control Valve 0-16 GPM Flow Range is engineered for precision fluid management. This valve features a variable flow control mechanism where fluid traverses a variable orifice, passes through a compensator spool, and exits through the controlled flow port. With its ability to maintain consistent flow rates while compensating for pressure variations, it ensures reliability in demanding environments.

Constructed with a durable cast iron body and heat-treated steel spools, this valve is built for longevity. Its precision ground chrome-plated spool and diamond honed spool bore reduce leakage, enhancing performance. Designed to handle a maximum operating pressure of 3000 PSI, it is recommended for use with 30-micron filtration. The port size is -10 SAE, and the valve can be adapted for two-port applications by capping the excess flow port.
