About On/Off Valves
More
Noncontact Flow-Adjustment Valves
Also known as pinch valves, these press down on the outside of tubing to adjust flow without contacting the process media. They can be used with any media that’s chemically compatible with your tubing.
Nickel-plated brass valves are more corrosion resistant than zinc or zinc-plated steel valves.
Valves with an open body provide easy access to tubing for maintenance or replacement.
Valves with a closed body securely hold tubing in place.
Panel-Mount Noncontact Flow-Adjustment Valves
For installation in instrument panels, these valves have a hex nut and threads below the handle. Also known as pinch valves, they press down on the outside of tubing to adjust flow without contacting the process media. Valves can be used with any media that’s chemically compatible with your tubing.

Tap Valves
- Valve Type: Saddle
- For Use With: Air, Water
- For Tube Material: Copper
Also known as saddle valves, these self-piercing valves tap existing copper tubing lines so you can install a secondary water supply line to humidifiers, ice makers, and other equipment. Clamp the valve into position and turn the handle to pierce a 1/4" hole in the tubing. Do not use with pipe. The outlet connection is a 1/4" compression tube fitting.

Noncontact On/Off Valves
Also known as pinch valves, these valves stop flow by squeezing tubing from the outside. Since they don’t directly contact your fluid, they’re good for applications where you need to prevent contamination. Install these valves in instrument panels—the body is sized to fit standard cutouts. It’s a closed body, so it surrounds the tubing for a secure hold. Once these valves are installed, their toggle switch sticks out of the panel, so you can quickly start or stop the flow without exposing your line. They can be used with any media that’s chemically compatible with your tubing.
