The LSLV-10 is a ball type cartridge shuttle valve from the L Series. It fits a 10-3 cavity and is rated at 4 gpm and 3,480 psi.
A shuttle valve has two inlets and one outlet. A free ball sits between the two inlets. Whichever inlet carries higher pressure pushes the ball against the opposite seat, which closes off the lower pressure inlet and connects the higher pressure side to the outlet. When pressures reverse, the ball shifts and the other inlet takes over. No spring or signal is involved; the pressure difference does the work.
This makes a shuttle valve a simple way to pick the higher of two pressures and send it to a single outlet.
The body is anodized aluminum alloy. Rated flow is 4 gpm and operating pressure is 3,480 psi. The operating temperature range is -15°F to +250°F.
Before ordering, confirm that your manifold or line body is machined for a 10-3 cavity. Check that flow through the valve stays within 4 gpm and that system pressure stays at or below 3,480 psi.
