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-tometal
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.
