About this manual

The EFD Dispense Valve System Selection Guide assists users in choosing the right valve and reservoir for a given fluid and application. It provides cross‑reference tables that match fluids to recommended valve models, and then matches those valves to suitable reservoirs based on pressure and viscosity.

The guide also highlights key valve and controller features, such as adjustable flow, fail‑safe operation, and digital control options. For detailed assistance, users are encouraged to contact EFD sales or a Fluid Application Specialist.
