The DRKE series shuttle valve is characterized by very high pressure load capacity and extremely low Δp. The 3-way shuttle valve shuts off whichever of the inlet ports A or B is at the lower pressure. Port C is thus always connected to the higher pressure.
The shuttle valve in ball-type design is very robust, extremely leak-proof and insensitive to contamination. Valve seat, ball and body are hardened. The valve seat, ball, and housing are hardened. Sealing of the valve in the installation bore is achieved by a metallic sealing edge and a back-up ring. The valve is available in nominal size 04 (with rotor seal) and nominal size 08 (with O-Ring and back-up ring).
