FC51 Series 3-Port Pressure Compensated Priority Flow Control Valve 0-16 GPM Flow Range

For a priority steering setup where one circuit gets guaranteed flow first and the remainder goes elsewhere, the FC51 fits that role well. The controlled flow port handles your priority circuit and the excess flow port feeds whatever secondary function you're running. Both outlets are pressure compensated, so the priority flow stays consistent even when pressure shifts on either side. Max operating pressure is 3000 PSI and the range goes up to 16 GPM, so as long as your flow demands fall in that window and your ports match 1/2 NPT, it should work for that application.

With the pressure compensated spool setup, the valve is made to hold a consistent flow out of the controlled flow port even when system pressure changes. It does that by adjusting through the compensator spool so the flow stays proportional to the lever setpoint instead of drifting with pressure.

Designed for consistent flow rate applications, this valve uses a compensator spool to maintain stable flow even with pressure variations.
