Lee Bypass Valves are normally open, with a hydraulically-actuated pilot-to-close feature. They are designed to shunt flow across an actuator piston when the system pressure is either shut off or lost. The valve is available in a .375″ diameter insert for system pressures up to 4,000 psi. This miniature valve has a maximum restriction of 70 Lohms when fully open and weighs only 16 grams. The metal components are constructed entirely of stainless steel for durability and long life. Similar to Lee Shuttle Valves, Lee Bypass valves include a polyimide compression seal to ensure there is no external leakage across the three port design when properly installed.

The Lee Company has developed the Lohm Laws for defining and measuring resistance to fluid flow. The Lohm is defined such that 1 Lohm will flow 100 GPM of water with a pressure drop of 25 psi at a temperature of 80°F.
Always verify flow calculations by experiment.
