The 5.5mm Shuttle Valve is a 5.5 mm diameter, selective, non-detented, loose ball three port isolation valve for use in hydraulic manifolds. The valve uses The Lee Company’s field-proven insert principle that provides secure retention without the need for threads, O-rings or sealants. The valves compact size makes it ideal as a signal for auxiliary functions, such as hydraulically released, spring-applied brakes as well as load sensing applications. This valve is the smallest in its’ flow class, often one third the size of existing shuttle valves with comparable flow rates, allowing system designers to optimize system component sizing, leading to improved efficiencies, reduced weight, and lower costs. The all metal construction provides high reliability, drip tight leakage and is 100% performance tested to ensure consistent, long term performance.
From plugs to solenoid valves, there’s a vast array of products that The Lee Company can offer. If you’d like to discuss the best solution for your specific application or to learn more about our capabilities, use-cases, or quality standards, contact your local Lee sales engineer.

The Lee Company has developed the Lohm Laws for defining and measuring resistance to fluid flow. The Lohm is defined such that 1 Lohm will flow 100 GPM of water with a pressure drop of 25 psi at a temperature of 80°F.
Always verify flow calculations by experiment.
