Threaded Gradual On/Off Valves
Also known as gate valves, these valves gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow.
Valves with a spring-close lever handle open when you pull on the handle and close when you release it. The handle is also called a deadman’s handle. Use these valves where the volume of flow needs to be closely monitored to avoid overflowing and spillage. Valves with a nonrising stem keep the stem in the same position whether they’re open or closed. They’re often used underground and in low-clearance locations.
Brass valves have good corrosion resistance. They also have a more polished look than bronze valves. However, they’ll corrode from salt water.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Threaded Gradual On/Off Valves for Boiler Blow-Off
Prevent boiler scale deposits and sediment buildup with these valves that meet ASME standards for boiler drainage applications. Also known as gate valves, they gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting or stopping flow.
Valves with a lever handle open and close faster than valves with a wheel handle.
Cast iron valves absorb vibration, reducing noise from your industrial boiler. Steel valves resist corroding from the dirt and particles that come out of industrial boilers better than cast iron valves.
Use repair kits to replace worn-out seals.

Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves

Also known as 4-way and 4/2 valves, these valves create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion.
Valves with hand return actuation stay actuated and return to their original position only when you move the actuator again.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.

Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves with Full Shut-Off

These valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. Also known as 4-way and 4/3 closed-center valves, they create two actions, such as extracting and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is by hand, so valves stay actuated and return to their original position only when you move the actuator again.

Two-Action Air Directional Control Valves with Exhausting Shut-Off

In the off position, these valves exhaust all air pressure, allowing equipment to return to the neutral position. Also known as 4-way and 4/3 exhaust-center valves, they create two actions, such as extracting and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. They direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. Return actuation is by hand, so valves stay actuated and return to their original position only when you move the actuator again.
