Lee shut-off valves function as normally-open valves used to shut off flow under specified conditions. We offer two types of shut-off valves – bypass valves and flow fuses. Bypass valves are hydraulically piloted to shut off the flow, while flow fuses shut off flow when the flow rate through the valve reaches a defined limit.
Lee bypass valves are three-port valves that use a unique compression seal which eliminates bypass leakage and any need for additional O-rings. They are known for their miniature size (which helps save weight and space in critical applications), easy installation, and precise, reliable performance.
Flow fuses are found throughout critical hydraulic systems. A flow fuse can function as a vent valve to purge trapped air or vapor from a fluidic system. They may be used in motorsports during engine start-up to purge trapped air in complex manifolds, improving fuel efficiency. Flow fuses are also used to sense an increase in flow rate and shut off during a system breach, preserving hydraulic power and functions upstream of the fuse.
Over 50% of components manufactured by The Lee Company are unique products designed to meet the requirements of a specific application. As a result, our capabilities far exceed our standard product line.
