Plastic Panel-Mount Vacuum-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With: Air, Inert Gas
- Temperature Range: 40° to 150° F
A lighter and more corrosion-resistant alternative to metal valves. All valves throttle a high vacuum source to maintain a lower vacuum level in your system. Adjust the outlet vacuum level within the range. Threads below the adjustment knob and an included panel-mount nut let you add these valves to your instrument panel. All are constant-bleed style, so they continually release small amounts of process gas to improve accuracy and repeatability.

High-Accuracy Panel-Mount Vacuum-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With: Air, Argon, Nitrogen
- Temperature Range: -40° to 165° F
For precise control over your vacuum level, these valves have ±0.1% accuracy. They throttle a high vacuum source to maintain a lower vacuum level in your system. Adjust the outlet vacuum level within the range. Valves have threads below the adjustment knob and come with a panel-mount nut. All have a gauge port. They are constant-bleed style, so they continually release small amounts of process gas to improve accuracy and repeatability.

Extended-Life Vacuum-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With: Air, Inert Gas
- Temperature Range: -20° to 180° F
For a longer service life than brass vacuum-regulating valves, these are made of bronze for strength and durability. They throttle a high vacuum source to maintain a lower vacuum level in your system. Turning the adjustment screw will adjust the vacuum setting.

Vacuum-Regulating Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With: Air, Carbon Dioxide, Inert Gas, Nitrogen
- Temperature Range: -20° to 180° F
Throttle a high vacuum source to maintain a lower vacuum level in your system. Adjust the outlet vacuum level within the range. All valves have a gauge port.

Adjustable Vacuum-Relief Valves for Air and Inert Gas
- For Use With: Air, Inert Gas
- Temperature Range: -15° to 250° F
These valves begin opening at the set vacuum level and fully open at about 10% over the set point. They begin closing as the vacuum level drops and fully close when the system is restored below the set point. Adjust the set vacuum level within the range. Valves have a vented relief port to exhaust discharge directly.

Less than half the end-to-end length of standard flange-mount check valves, these can be installed between ANSI flanges in pipelines with limited clearance. ANSI flanges are sold separately. Valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. All have a 316 stainless steel body for excellent corrosion resistance.
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.

Vacuum-Breaking Valves
Also known as vacuum breakers, these valves have vents that open when pressure drops to relieve vacuum conditions and prevent backward suction from drawing liquid into upstream piping.
303 stainless steel valves have the best corrosion resistance.
Straights are often used with steam coils, heat exchangers, and space heaters.
