High Flow FC Flow Control (Fc51) Installation & User Guide: Specifications
High Flow FC Flow Control (Fc51) Installation & User Guide: Specifications
FEATURES:
CF port (Controlled Flow) - Flow coming from the CF port is pressure compensated and proportional to the side lever
rotation. Flow can vary from closed to wide open.
EX port (Excess Flow) - Flow coming from the EX port is also pressure compensated. Note: When side lever is set to 0,
entire flow will exit valve via EX port.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Mounting – Valve can be mounted in any orientation. Valve must be mounted on a flat surface with a recessed area for
the side lever spool. Special attention should be paid to not bend or twist the casting when mounting. Doing so may
cause the compensator spool to bind, causing valve to fail.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Pipe Thread Sealant - Warranty is void when Teflon tape is used to seal pipe threads. This is because Teflon tape is a
friction reducing agent which allows customers to over-torque fittings. We recommend using a sealant that does not include
friction reducing agents i.e. Lead Plate.
