About Flow Control Valves
Also known as cylinder speed controls, flow control valves let you control the extension or retraction speed of your air cylinder. They regulate airflow as it passes from the valve's inlet to its outlet. Air flows freely in the opposite direction.

Slow-Start Air-Exhaust Valves for Wilkerson Modular
Compressed Air Filter/Regulator/Lubricators (FRLs)
Also known as Monday-morning valves, these valves slowly introduce pressure to reduce surge damage during start-up. When the solenoid is shut off, the valve cuts air to your equipment by exhausting downstream pressure. To ensure compatibility, the valve series number should match the series number on your Wilkerson components.

Slow-Start Air Flow Control Valves
Prevent damage to your equipment by limiting startup airflow and then gradually raising the airflow rate to operating levels. These valves adjust the volume of air exiting an air cylinder (meter out) to control the speed of air-powered equipment. They control flow in one direction; air flows freely in the opposite direction. For the best control, mount them as close to the cylinder as possible to minimize the length of tubing between the cylinder and the valve.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Timer-Operated Air On/Off Valves
Install these valves on your air storage tank outlet—at the end of the day, they automatically close to save energy. While in the off position, the tank stays pressurized so the compressor doesn't run when you don't need it to, even if there are small leaks from pipe fittings, drip legs, and other downstream connections. Also known as solenoid valves, these valves actuate when voltage is applied to the electrical connection. They operate on a timer that can be programmed to work with a regular schedule, but they also have a manual override if your schedule changes. They gradually open to prevent system damage from suddenly starting flow.
