Valves & Valve Fittings #5143870

The cartridge shuttle valve permits flow from either of two inlet ports to a common outlet. Similar to the Kep-O-seal inline version, a free floating metal ball shuttles according to the relative pressure at the two inlets. The higher pressure inlet flows through the valve and moves the ball to close the opposite inlet. Kepner's Flexible Seal Seat ensures bubble-tight shutoff of liquid or gas, and long service life. Shuttle valves can also flow in the reverse direction, and relieve system pressure when input is removed. Standard and specialty valves handle a wide variety of applications, and are ideal for use in manifolds, subplates, or cylinder heads. Features and Benefits - Flexible Seal Seat for zero leak (bubble-tight) seal at closed port- No threaded connections (avoid potential leakage)- Non-biased free floating shuttle ball with short travel path- Minimal pressure differential switching- O-Ring positively secured- Compact, easy installation Accessory Kepner Holding Device Kits available

The lock valve combines a Kepsel Cartridge Insert Check with a rugged pilot operator. They free flow from valve port to cylinder port (or to portion of circuit) and lock reverse flow until pilot pressure is applied to unlock the internal check valve and allow reverse flow. Kepner's Flexible Seal Seat provides positive bubble-tight locking to prevent load drift or circuit creep, and answers the need where internal leakage could adversely affect performance such as with clamping cylinders or outrigger stabilizer jacks. Standard and specialty valve designs handle a wide variety of applications for dependable position and load holding, including safety holding against line rupture or control valve leakage.Features and Benefits - Flexible Seal Seat ensures zero leak (bubble-tight) seal locking- Surge flow protected with calibrated pilot orifice- Close fitting pilot piston with pressure balancing grooves for minimal pilot loss- Pilot piston with u-cup seal option----consult factory- Basic pilot ratio 3:1- High strength, light weight aluminum body- Mounting holes for installation

These rugged valves combine two Kepsel Cartridge Check Valves with close fitting pilot piston shuttle to offer dependable cylinder locking in both directions. They permit free flow from valve port to cylinder port (or to portion of circuit) through one check valve while at the same time piloting open the check valve on the other side to allow reverse flow. When pressure at the valve ports is removed both check valves close and lock against movement in either direction by preventing reverse flow. Kepner's Flexible Seal Seat provides positive bubble-tight locking to prevent load drift or circuit creep. Standard and specialty valve designs handle a wide variety of applications, and are commonly used with double acting cylinders for position locking and for holding against line rupture or control valve leakage.Features and Benefits - Flexible Seal Seat ensures zero leak (bubble-tight) seal locking both sides- Surge flow protected with calibrated pilot orifice- Close fitting pilot piston with pressure balancing grooves for minimal pilot loss- Basic pilot ratio 3:1- High strength, light weight aluminum body- Mounting holes for installation
