NV10-21 Needle Valve with Positive Shut-Off
DESCRIPTION
A screw-in, cartridge-style, variable orifi ce, hydraulic fl ow restrictor valve. It is in-
tended for applications requiring fi ne adjustment over multiple turns.
OPERATION
The NV10-21 increases its orifi ce value from fully closed to fully open with adjustment
rotation in the counterclockwise direction. Effective adjustment is linear to eight turns.
Note: This is intended as a low-effort adjustment suitable for operation through link-
age. It may be unsuitable in environments where vibration is present.
FEATURES
• Adjustment cannot be backed out of the valve.
• Hardened parts for long life.
• Industry common cavity.
• Fine/low effort adjustment.
• Positive shut-off.
• Linear adjustment.
