Legris 7010 06 10 Meter Out Flow Control Valve 6mm 145 Psi

Product Description

The LEGRIS 7010 06 10 is a compact meter-out flow control valve designed for pneumatic air circuits requiring precise exhaust-side flow regulation. Built with a nylon body, this valve controls airflow on the outlet stroke of an actuator, smoothing cylinder movement and preventing pressure spikes. The 7010 06 10 accepts a 6mm outside diameter tube on one end and connects to a 1/8 male BSPP threaded port on the other. It handles working pressures up to 145 psi and temperatures up to 160 degrees F. Pneumatic system technicians and automation maintenance professionals install this valve inline with actuators, cylinders, or directional control circuits where metered exhaust control is required.

This valve is suited for industrial pneumatic systems using metric tube fittings and BSPP threaded ports, common in European-standard machinery and fluid power assemblies. The meter-out configuration restricts airflow leaving the actuator, which is the preferred method for controlling cylinder speed under load. Typical installation scenarios include single-acting or double-acting cylinder circuits in light manufacturing, assembly automation, and process control panels where consistent actuator speed and smooth deceleration are priorities.

Key Features

• Meter-out flow control restricts exhaust airflow for stable actuator speed under load
• Compact nylon body suited for space-constrained panel and manifold installations
• 6mm tube outside diameter push-to-connect inlet for fast, tool-free tube insertion
• 1/8 male BSPP threaded outlet for direct port mounting on actuators and valves
• Rated to 145 psi maximum working pressure
• Operates at temperatures up to 160 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for pneumatic circuits using 6mm OD metric tubing and 1/8 BSPP threaded connections, consistent with European-standard fluid power components and machinery.

Installation Notes

Depressurize the pneumatic circuit completely before removing or installing any flow control valve. This valve is installed by pneumatic system technicians following manufacturer wiring and plumbing diagrams for the associated actuator circuit. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the BSPP male threads per system requirements, taking care not to contaminate the push-to-connect tube seat. Verify tube end is cut square, deburred, and fully seated before pressurizing the circuit.
