Threaded On/Off Valves for Cryogenic Liquids
- Valve Type: Ball
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen
- Seal Material: Graphite
- Specifications Met: American Petroleum Institute Standard 607 - Edition 7
Use these valves in cryogenic systems to control the flow of liquid nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon. They have PCTFE seats that maintain a tight seal at temperatures as low as -400° F. A vented ball relieves pressure build-up from frequent temperature fluctuations during use. These valves have an extra-long stem filled with graphite packing to prevent heat transfer and leaks. The stem is long enough to fit through thick insulation in your setup. It keeps the handle at a comfortable temperature and your hands away from hazards, so you can start and stop flow in hard-to-reach areas. Their lockable handle can be fixed in place using a padlock (not included). To maintain performance and safety, these valves are shipped cleaned and bagged to avoid contamination. All are full port, so they do not restrict flow.
Fire-tested to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) 607, these valves securely isolate flammable gases such as methane and hydrogen to prevent the spread of fire.
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.

Socket-Connect On/Off Valves for Cryogenic Liquids
- Valve Type: Ball
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Nitrogen
- Seal Material: Graphite
- Specifications Met: American Petroleum Institute Standard 607 - Edition 7
Designed to withstand extremely cold liquid gases, these valves are ideal for liquid nitrogen cooling systems and liquified gas storage. They have PCTFE seats that maintain a tight seal at temperatures as low as -400° F. A vented ball relieves internal gas and pressure build-up from frequent temperature fluctuations during use. These valves have an insulated, extra-long stem to prevent heat transfer and leaks. The extended stem keeps the handle at a comfortable temperature and your hands away from hazards, so you can start and stop flow even in hard-to-reach areas. To maintain performance and safety, these valves are shipped cleaned and bagged to avoid contamination.
Insert unthreaded pipe into the socket ends and weld to create a permanent, leak-tight connection. All are full port, so they do not restrict flow. To prevent changes, add a padlock to fix the handle in place.
Fire-tested to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) 607, these valves securely isolate flammable substances to prevent the spread of fire.

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.
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.
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.
