Regulate vacuum levels from your instrument panel with these valves that have threads below the adjustment handle and a panel-mount nut. They throttle a high vacuum source to maintain a lower vacuum level in your system. Adjust the outlet vacuum level within the range. Body is nickel-plated brass for good corrosion resistance.
