FD Series Divider Valve

FD Series Divider Valve

FD Series Divider Valve

Product catalog summary
General Overview
The FD Series Divider Valves are designed for use in series progressive oil and grease lubrication systems. They are constructed from steel with Viton O-ring seals and can serve 2, 3, 4, or 6 lubrication points. The valves operate by dividing the discharge according to specific configurations, ensuring precise lubricant distribution.
Features
The valves feature positive displacement of lubricant due to precise tolerances, an economical and compact design, and easy installation on both new and existing machines. They are constructed with bolt-together sections and Viton O-ring seals.
Operation
The FD divider valve operates in a series progressive manner, meaning each piston must complete its stroke before the next one operates. This ensures a measured amount of lubricant is discharged. If the lubricant flow is interrupted, piston movement stops and resumes at the same point when flow continues. Blockages in discharge lines will halt valve operation, with indicators available to alert users.

FD Series Divider Valve-1

FD Series Divider Valve Progressive Systems General FD Series Divider Valves are designed for use with series progressive oil and grease lubrication systems. They are of two piece, steel construction with viton O-ring seals. FD valves will serve 2, 3, 4 or 6 points of lubrication. The 2, 3 and 4 point divider valves require .08 cu in to complete one full cycle. An FD-6 divider valve requires .06 cu in to complete one full cycle. The valves divide the discharge according to the table below. Name Total Discharge per Cycle Positive displacement of lubricant due to precise toleranced clearances. Economical and compact design. Simple to install on new or existing machines. Bolt together construction with viton O-ring seals between sections and piston plug. Operation The FD divider valve is a self-contained, multiple outlet, series progressive valve. The term progressive means that each piston must complete its stroke, discharging a measured amount of lubricant before the following piston operates. As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the inlet section, each piston will continue to operate in a progressive manner. When lubricant flow is interrupted to the inlet, piston movement stops. When flow resumes, piston movement commences at the same point in the discharge cycle. Feed lines deliver lubricant from the valve block to individual lube points. Should a discharge line become blocked, it will stop all the valves operating. Indicators are available to alert a blockage.
