Flow-straightening sleeve contains vanes in modified honeycomb pattern. Each vane curved fluid-dynamic wing that helps straighten and smooth out flow of fluid passing over it. Sleeve performs more reliably and quietly, possibility of damage to internal valve parts greatly reduced, valve life expectancy increased and time between overhauls extended.
