HYDRAULIC SHUTTLE VALVE 1/4"
VT005004 1/4” BSP – Shuttle valve
Product description:
The VT005004 shuttle valve is designed to automatically select and transmit the higher pressure from two separate pressure lines to the outlet in hydraulic systems. It is commonly used in pressure control circuits, pilot lines, or safety-related functions. The valve features a steel housing and internal components with a zinc-plated exterior surface for corrosion protection and long service life.
Main features:
- Type: Shuttle valve
- Part number: VT005004
- Connection (R1 – A, A1, B): 1/4” BSP
- Max. flow rate: 35 l/min
- Maximum operating pressure: 500 bar
- Housing material: Steel (zinc-plated)
Operating principle
The valve includes two inlets (A and B) and one outlet (C). Inside, a ball mechanism shifts depending on which inlet has higher pressure automatically blocking the lower-pressure side and connecting the higher-pressure flow to the outlet. This enables seamless switching between two pressure signals or sources without manual intervention.
Shuttle valves simplify hydraulic control circuits and improve overall system safety and reliability.
