Drainback Valve

Flow Network Solution

The Drainback Valve was designed and developed by Specialty Engine Components L.L.C. specifically for the Automotive Industry. Its use is designed to maintain a constant fluid level in the torque converter during periods when the vehicle is not in use. This provides for smooth transmission operation from the moment the vehicle is started. This technology is now applied to most motor vehicles manufactured in the United States.

The SEC Drainback Valve was designed and manufactured to offer the following economic and mechanical advantages:

  • Meets or exceeds existing automotive product performance standards.
  • Patented high-strength connection technology.
  • Proprietary sealing mechanism
  • Swivels-ease of installation, prevents hose and tube twisting.
  • Eliminates delayed engagement.
  • Reduced warranty costs.

SEC leads the industry in the development of "drainback" technology. The valve body incorporates the same sealing and connecting technology developed for our patented Quick Connect Coupling. Standard and custom designs are available to meet the need of any fluid level maintenance application.
