FD12-40 Flow Divider/Combiner (FD12-40)
A screw-in, cartridge-style, spool-type flow divider/combiner. Optional flow dividing/combining ratios are maintained regardless of system operating pressure conditions.
Product Operation
In the dividing mode, the FD12-40 will divert input flow from port ➂ to ports ➁ and ➃, based on the ratio specifi ed, regardless of operating pressure.
The cartridge will combine input flows from ports ➁ and ➃Should circuit operation result in a blockage of either ➁ or ➃, the opposite port may also close under certain conditions. Should this potential exist, consult the factory.
Product Features
• Hardened parts for long life.
• Quiet, modulated response.
