When the aircraft is connected to a ground refueling source, the fuel management system commands the refuel shutoff valve to close when the selected fuel quantity is reached in conjunction with the refuel control solenoid or pilot-operated float valve. Refuel shutoff valves such as the one above are mounted to a vertical rib and are designed with several features that are required in today's - demanding aerospace needs (i.e. FAR25.g81, windmilling & engine blade out). This style of valve is also designed to keep surge pressure low - when the valve is commanded to shutoff, thus protecting any downstream equipment. With ts low pressure drop and low leakage rate, this - valve is an ideal choice when properly selected for the right application. - The refuel shutoff valve is designed to operate in conjunction with a refuel control solenoid or pilot-operated float valve. When the aircraft is - connected to a ground refueling source, refuel pressure and flow are routed to the inlet of the valve, allowing the fuel tanks to be filled. When - the selected aircraft fuel quantity is reached, the fuel management system will command the refuel-control solenoid or pilot-operated float - valve to close, thus commanding the refuel shutoff valve to the closed position. - The material and finishes used in the construction of the valve and those of similar, previously qualified valves are unaffected by several - environmental conditions listed in RTCA DO-160 and MIL-STD-810. This elegantly simple design is extremely reliable and several variations of
