About On/Off Valves

Compact Plastic Threaded On/Off Valves

Install these low-profile valves in tight spots. They are for use with water, oil, air, and inert gas.

On/Off Valves with Push-to-Connect
Fittings for Food and Beverage

Insert tubing into the push-to-connect fittings on these valves—no heat, solder, or flux required. They meet NSF/ANSI 51 for safe use with food.

On/Off Valves with Sanitary Quick-Clamp
Fittings for Food and Beverage

To maintain sanitary standards in food, beverage, and dairy systems that require frequent cleaning, these valves are made of FDA compliant materials. Electropolished to a 32 Ra finish, they have smooth internal surfaces that prevent product buildup and inhibit bacteria growth. All have sanitary quick-clamp fittings for easy disassembly.

Sanitary On/Off Valves for Food and Beverage

3-A certified as meeting sanitary design standards, these valves control the flow of liquids in food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic plants.

On/Off Valves with Butt-Weld
Fittings for Food and Beverage

Weld these valves to unthreaded metal pipe for a permanent, flush connection that permits smooth flow through a line. They have polished internal surfaces for easy cleaning in food and beverage systems.

On/Off Valves with Barbed
Fittings for Food and Beverage

These valves have barbs that grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold. All meet NSF/ANSI 18 for use with manual food and beverage dispensing equipment.

High-Flow Air-Driven On/Off Valves for Chemicals

Also known as actuated ball valves, these provide higher flow rates than other air-driven valves.

Air-Driven On/Off Valves for Food and Beverage

For food and beverage applications that require frequent cleaning, these valves have quick-clamp connections, polished internal surfaces, and a three-piece bolted body for easy disassembly.

Motor-Driven On/Off Valves for Food and Beverage

For food and beverage systems that require frequent cleaning, these valves have polished internal surfaces and sanitary quick-clamp connections for easy disassembly.

Diverting Valves

Diverting Valves with Sanitary Quick-Clamp
Fittings for Food and Beverage

With sanitary quick-clamp connections for easy disassembly in systems that require frequent cleaning, these valves are often used to divert flow between ports in food and beverage applications.

Diverting Valves with Barbed
Fittings for Food and Beverage

Barbed fittings on these valves grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold. They divert flow between ports in food and beverage tubing lines.

Diverting Valves with Push-to-Connect
Fittings for Food and Beverage

Insert tubing into the fittings on these valves—no heat, solder, or flux required. They divert flow between ports in food and beverage tubing lines.

Air-Driven Diverting Valves for Food and Beverage

For food and beverage systems that require frequent cleaning, these valves have sanitary quick-clamp connections for easy disassembly. They operate on compressed air to automatically divert flow between ports more quickly than motor-driven valves. You must control the air to the actuator using either an electric pilot valve or a manual on/off valve.
