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.
