LW10320 - Lycoming Oil Sleeve Filter Bypass Valve

LW10320 - Lycoming Oil Sleeve Filter Bypass Valve

The LW10320 Lycoming Sleeve - Oil Filter Bypass Valve is an essential component in aircraft engines, specifically designed for Lycoming engines. This valve serves a critical function in maintaining optimal oil flow by bypassing the oil filter when necessary, such as during cold starts or when the filter is clogged. This mechanism ensures that the engine receives adequate lubrication under all operating conditions, preventing damage and maintaining performance.

Key Specifications:

• Part Number: LW10320
• Material: High-quality materials engineered for durability and reliability under extreme conditions
• Function: Bypasses the oil filter under high differential pressure conditions to ensure continuous oil flow
• Compatibility: Suitable for various Lycoming engine models, particularly those using full-flow oil filtration systems
• Certification: Comes with an FAA 8130-3 release certification, verifying it as an approved OEM part​

This bypass valve is a vital part of the engine's oil management system, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the engine by providing an alternate oil route when needed.
