What is a Shuttle Valve?
A shuttle valve is a directional control valve which permits fluid flow from either one of two sources to a common outlet. It will automatically switch to the higher pressure source and stop backflow from the other. This aspect renders shuttle valves essential in dual-pressure systems, emergency override circuits, and safety-oriented hydraulic arrangements.
