The LSLV-08-6T is a ball-type cartridge shuttle valve with SAE 6 body porting. The cartridge fits a C08-3 cavity and works as a double check, automatically selecting the higher of two pressure inputs.
A shuttle valve has two inlets and one outlet. The ball inside shifts toward the lower-pressure inlet, sealing it off, and lets the higher-pressure source flow to the outlet. When pressures change, the ball shifts again on its own, with no external signal.
This L Series valve is rated to 3480 psi operating pressure and 4 gpm flow. The operating temperature range is -15°F to +250°F, and the anodized aluminum alloy body resists corrosion.
A common use is directing oil from the pressure side of a bidirectional hydraulic motor to a pressure-released hydraulic brake, so the brake releases whichever way the motor turns. It also serves winch, motor and brake circuits and alternate-source selection. The SAE 6 ported body lets it go straight into a line, and the cartridge format saves manifold space in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems.
