Catalog 3900 - Flow Control Valves

F Series

General Description
Series “F” flow control valves provide precise control of flow
and shut-off in one direction, and automatically permit full flow
in the opposite direction.

Operation
A two-step needle allows fine adjustment at low flow by using
the first three turns of the adjusting knob; the next three turns
open the valve to full flow, and also provide standard throttling
adjustments.

Features
• The exclusive “Colorflow” color-band reference scale on the
valve stem is a great convenience and time-saver in setting
the valve originally and in returning it to any previous setting.
• A simple set screw locks the valve on any desired setting.
Flow Control / Check Valves

• A tamperproof option (T) feature is also available to prevent

accidental or intentional adjustment of flow setting.
