Flow Control Valves

Clippard Flow Control Valves

Clippard offers five models of adjustable flow controls with #10-32 through 3/8” NPT ports. They feature a combination needle and check valve that controls flow in one direction and allows free flow in the opposite direction. They are an ideal valve for use with a cylinder, providing a slow extend stroke while allowing a fast retract stroke.

These combination needle and check valve flow controls are typically used to control air flow from air cylinders, thereby controlling the speed at which the piston strokes, either while extending or retracting, depending on their location in the circuit.

J-Series Flow Control Valves allow free flow in one direction. In the opposite direction the flow is metered by the needle valve. Models listed in the chart have either a 1/4" NPT (JFC-4) or 3/8" NPT (JFC-5) male threaded outlets, recessed screwdriver slot (R) or knurled knob (K) flow adjustment needles and female NPT or push-to-connect tubing (Push-Quick) inlets. The P08 models features a 1/4" Push-Quick fitting, and the P12 versions have a 3/8" Push-Quick fitting.
