The shuttle valve permits flow from either of two inlet ports to a common
outlet. A free floating metal ball shuttles according to the relative pressure
at the two inlets. The higher pressure inlet flows through the valve and moves
the ball to close the opposite inlet. Kepner's Flexible
Seal Seat™ combines
metal-to-metal contact with a resilient seal seat to ensure bubble-tight shutoff
of liquid or gas, and long service life. Shuttle valves can also flow in the
reverse direction, and relieve system pressure when input is removed. Standard
and specialty valves handle a wide variety of control applications, including
use in logic circuits, for pilot signal input and venting, dual input pilot
control, and for switching to alternate or standby systems.
