VALVE_p2vfn6.png



I am trying a find a valve with following fuctionality.
. When T1 is open flow from T1 should go to the output.
. When Force or a switch is actuated or activated. Flow from T1 should stop and be redirected to T2 and flow from T2 should go through output.
. When force or switch is off the excess fluid in T2 should go back to T2.

I am trying to find a valve like this. But I am having a hard time.
Any suggestions would be highly apreciated.

Thank you.

That's prpbably because it doesn't make sense, at least to me.

What is T1 and T2?
In your second line, how can flow go both to T2 and from T2 at the same down, presumably down the same line through the same valve???
When the force/ switch is off, how can fluid in T2 go back on itself??? Where is the fluid from?

Have a good look at what you've written and sketched and then compare it to what is in front of you or in your head and come back with something that makes sense please.

How much flow / size are we talking here? This looks like a solenoid relay type valve to me, but they are usually 1/2" size.

A few more details will help.....
