FCS300-ES-UF Front Closing Stainless Steel Spray Valve, Ultra Fine Cap The valves above will be referred to as the FCS300 Series for the purpose of this manual. Any information relevant to a specific valve will be indicated. Theory of Operation The FCS300 Series is a low pressure, low volume, front closing stainless steel spray valve that uses air pressure to atomize fluids and transfer them to a substrate.
