Threaded Gradual On/Off Valves for Cryogenic Liquid
- Valve Type: Gate
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Natural Gas, Liquid Methane, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Packing Material: PTFE Plastic
- Specifications Met: ASME B31.3, CGA G-4.1, MSS-SP-80
Built to handle the extreme cold of liquid gases, these bronze valves are ideal for liquid carbon dioxide carbonation systems, liquid nitrogen coolant systems, and other cryogenic applications. They’ll also work with liquified natural gas and liquid oxygen. They’re cleaned and bagged to meet CGA G-4.1 for oxygen service. Also known as gate valves, they open and close gradually with multiple turns of the wheel handle to prevent sudden starts and stops.
The handle raises as these valves open and lowers as they close. At a glance, you can see if flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from what’s flowing through your line, giving these valves a longer lifespan than valves with a nonrising stem. They have a threaded union stem housing, so you can separate the stem from the housing while the valve is inline. That means you can complete maintenance tasks, such as packing the stem, without taking apart your whole setup.

Solenoid On/Off Valves for Cryogenic Liquids
Built to withstand the extreme cold of liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen, these valves are cleaned and bagged for high-purity applications. They operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow.
All valves are normally closed unless actuated. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.
304 stainless steel valves are more corrosion resistant than brass and bronze valves.
Zero pressure drop valves don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. Pressure drop assisted valves require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet for operation; the upstream pressure must be greater than the downstream pressure.
NEMA 2 valves resist light splashing water and dust, and their enclosures are rated IP50 for additional protection from dust. Valves rated NEMA 4 and IP65 resist dust, splashing water, and washdowns.
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.

Fast-Acting Pressure-Relief Valves for Cryogenic Liquids
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Temperature Range: -320° to 350° F
Cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves can withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. All have a vented relief port to exhaust discharge directly.

Pressure-Relief Valves for Cryogenic Applications
- For Use With: Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Temperature Range: -320° to 165° F
Cleaned and bagged to meet CGA G-4.1 for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves are built to withstand the extreme cold of liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They begin opening at the set pressure and fully open at about 10% over the set pressure. Valves begin closing as pressure drops and fully close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Set pressure is not adjustable.
Valves are not intended for direct contact with cryogenic liquids. Risers (sold separately) are required to convert cryogenic liquids into gases before they contact the valve. 3/8 NPT valve requires a 1/2 NPT × 3/8 NPT bushing when using a riser.
Adapters (sold separately) convert the valve relief-port connection from UNEF female threads to NPT female threads.

Pressure-Regulating Valves for Cryogenic Liquids
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Temperature Range: -320° to 150° F
These valves can withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. All are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range.

Extended-Life Pressure-Regulating Valves for Cryogenic Liquids
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Temperature Range: -320° to 150° F
For a longer service life than standard valves for cryogenic liquids, these have a durable bronze body. All are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. Valves are designed to withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They have an internal strainer to trap debris.
