Aqua Environment 796-032 796 Series Flow Restrictor 6000 PSI 1/4" NPT 0.032" Orifice Anodized Aluminum Body

The model 796 flow restrictor uses a small orifice but no active element to limit flow. It's advantages are: simplicity, and the insurance that the flow will not be shut off due to unusual surges. It's disadvantages are: some restriction in normal flow, and some continuing flow in the event of line breakage. In some cases the flow restriction can be an advantage. For example it will slow fill times of small tanks preventing "hot" fills. In the event of line breakage some noise and line whip could still occur, However flow rate and whip will be reduced to about 1/10 (10%) that of an unrestricted line.

Features:

• Flow Restrictor
• 0.032 in. orifice

Typical Applications:

• High pressure air station filling hoses
• Hydraulic lift lines
• Other hydraulic or gas flexible lines
• Flow limiters for tank filling
• Flow limiters for pneumatic operators

Installation

The model 796 restrictor can flow in either direction. Install the fuse or restrictor between storage tanks and flexible hoses to prevent violent whipping in the event the hose end becomes disconnected or breaks. Use a suitable pipe thread sealant on the inlet and outlet pipe threads.

Maintenance

No routine maintenance is required. The flow fuse comes adjusted for the flow rates noted above under technical specs. To readjust the flow fuse, turn the adjusting screw in until the ball valve bottoms against the seat.
