    Confused What type of valve/plunger is this?

    What type of Plunger/Valve is this? And does anyone know where to purchase these in large quantities.

    Any information anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, David

    Looks like some sort of fluid check-valve (one-way-flow) to me. I'll bet it is a unique design - what does it go on and have you contacted the manufacturer or distributor?

    I am with Kelly on this, that top button looks like it might be machined from Delrin or Nylon, most likely Nylon going by the color. That would make it a proprietary item and you may need to have them made.

    It should not be all that expensive now that CNC lathes tend to dominate the lathe-working **********.

    Is this a pneumatic or hydraulic application? You might check companies like Clippard for small specialized pneumatic components or a company like Sun Hydraulics for screw-in cartridge valves.

    It is used in an electric fuel pump to help control the flow of fuel. It is used as a type of return valve, but I am unable to find a manufacturer that might be able to help us produce this.fuel pump cut-out-1.jpg

    Lot of unnecessary machining in that thread length on the port block.
