    Manual rotary select valves let aircraft operators isolate hydraulic pressure from specific systems to permit ground maintenance of aircraft

    Manual rotary select valves let aircraft operators isolate hydraulic pressure from specific systems to permit ground maintenance of aircraft. Designed with dual or multiple ports, the valves are qualified for aerospace hydraulic systems up to 5,000 psi. The Rudder isolation valve operates at 5,076-psig pressure, with 7.92-gpm flow rate at 7.25-psid max. The lightweight, titanium housing results in an overall unit dry weight of 1.050 lb. The valve isolates the rudder actuator from the main hydraulic system during maintenance, thereby preventing movement of the aircraft rudder.
