Alum Flow Valve -6an Male ID - E

The KRC Alum Flow Valve -6AN Male ID is a precision flow control component engineered for high-performance power steering systems in modified and competition vehicles. This aluminum valve regulates hydraulic flow to the steering pump, maintaining consistent pressure and responsiveness across demanding driving conditions. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, street rod, or bracket racing platform, a properly tuned flow control valve is essential for predictable steering feel and extended pump longevity.

Manufactured from lightweight aluminum and finished in natural bare metal, the KRC 25312000 features a -6AN male inlet connection for seamless integration into custom hydraulic plumbing networks. The "ID Mark E" designation indicates this specific orifice sizing—a critical specification that meters flow at a predetermined rate to balance pump output with system demand. By restricting excessive flow during high-speed cornering or sustained steering input, the valve reduces heat generation, minimizes cavitation, and protects internal pump components from premature wear. The compact 4.55-inch length and 0.1-pound weight make it ideal for tight engine bay installations where space and weight savings directly impact performance.

Mechanics and fabricators building custom power steering circuits—from vintage muscle car restorations to modern drift and road race applications—rely on KRC flow control valves to fine-tune system response. The -6AN male inlet threads directly to adapter fittings and custom manifolds, enabling full system customization without compromise. Verify compatibility with your existing power steering pump displacement and target pressure range before installation; different orifice sizes produce varying flow characteristics. This valve pairs seamlessly with KRC pump assemblies and aftermarket remote reservoir systems where circuit pressure and thermal management are paramount.
