The FBV-3, a new Minimatic fill and bleed toggle valve, has two poppet valves connected to a single outlet. The operation is similar to a three-way, three-position, center-blocked device. The FBV-3 is designed to offer a good amount of flexibility in adjusting flow controls when pressurizing (or fill) and de-pressurizing (or bleed) by changing positions of the toggle. Two built-in needle valves provide the speed control needed for extend and retract applications. Non-adjustable models are also available.
