Insert style flow control valves are comprised of a precision orifice in parallel with a check valve, combined into a single component. Each is designed for easy installation into metal housings using our field-proven locking end, which provides retention and a leak-tight seal without the use of threads, O-rings, or custom in-house designs. Its all-stainless-steel construction and high-quality metal-to-metal seat result in a repeatable cracking pressure and a long life. Each valve is 100% tested to ensure that all parts are within their flow tolerance. These valves are available as standard models in 5.5 mm and 8.0 mm diameter (which offers more free flow) envelopes. Each can be purchased in a variety of Lohm rates and in both forward and reverse configurations.
The 5.5mm Insert Flow Control Valves are, functionally, an orifice in parallel with a check valve, all in one 5.5mm diameter, cartridge-style package. These valves are threadless and designed for installation into metal manifolds. They utilize The Lee Companies field-proven insert principle that provides secure retention without the need for threads, O-rings or sealants. The valves are all stainless steel construction with a high-quality metal to metal seat providing highly repeatable cracking pressures and long life. All valves are 100% flow tested for consistent batch to batch performance.
