Variable flow adjustable valves
An adjustable flow valve, comprising: a body; an upstream port; a downstream port; a body; a side plate; a restricting paddle within the body that pivots into a flow path from the upstream port to the downstream port; a screw coupled with the restricting paddle and configured to swing the restricting paddle from a hinged point across the flow path; and wherein the side plate has an opening that exposes an edge of the restricting paddle and graduations that illustrate a plurality of flow percentage.
1. An adjustable flow valve, comprising:
a body;
an upstream port;
a downstream port;
a side plate;
a restricting paddle within the body that pivots into a flow path from the upstream port to the downstream port;
a screw coupled with the restricting paddle and configured to swing the restricting paddle from a hinged point across the flow path; and
wherein the side plate has an opening that exposes an edge of the restricting paddle and graduations that illustrate a plurality of flow percentage.
2. The adjustable flow valve of claim 1 , wherein the screw is a socket-head cap screw.
3. The adjustable valve of claim 1 , further comprising a floor bump within the body that provides added turbulence in the lower flow settings providing more restriction.
4. The adjustable flow valve of claim 1 , further comprising a bearing, retainer clip and bottom bearing to hold an alignment of the screw.
5. The adjustable flow valve of claim 1 , further comprising linkage to couple the screw with the restrictive paddle.
