    Sanitary Gauge Guards

    Keeping corrosive substances from touching pressure gauges used in food-processing and pharmaceutical plants, these guards have a sanitary design. Made of 316 stainless steel, they won’t rust from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. They have continuously-welded seams and polished surfaces, so there aren’t any pits for bacteria to grow in. Removing them for cleaning and maintenance is easy thanks to their quick-clamp connection, which is sometimes called a tri-clamp.
    Also known as isolators and diaphragm seals, these guards have a 316 stainless steel gasket to shield the pressure gauges from corrosion. Before use, fill the guards with fluid such as glycerin or silicone that’s suitable for food contact.

    Sanitary Pressure-Regulating Valves

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pressure-Regulating Valves. Sanitary Pressure-Regulating Valves.
    Regulate air, gas, and liquid pressure on food, beverage, and pharmaceutical lines with these valves—they’re 3-A certified to meet sanitary design standards. Attach them to your line to reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure.
    Twist the T-handle on top of the valve to adjust the outlet pressure. When the valve is closed, a seal on the outlet prevents leaks and helps maintain consistent pressure. These valves meet ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class III, which means a maximum of 0.1% of fluid, gas, or air can escape while they are fully closed. The spring and valve mechanism are sealed behind the diaphragm, so contaminants can’t enter. Both the diaphragm and seals hold up to water, detergents, and chemicals. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    Made of 316 stainless steel, these valves won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. They connect to your line with quick-clamp sanitary fittings, also known as tri-clamp connections, which are easier to remove and sanitize than threaded connections. The polished interior is extremely smooth, so there’s nowhere for bacteria to hide. They’re also self-draining, so liquids drain completely and don’t contaminate your line. Keep these valves open during clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with a locking pin.

    Sanitary Back-Pressure-Regulating Valves

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Pressure-Regulating Valves. Sanitary Back-Pressure-Regulating Valves.
    Designed to meet 3-A sanitary standards, these valves regulate liquid, gas, and air pressure in hygienic zones of food and beverage plants. They’re often used at the end of pipelines on processing and sanitizing equipment. Made of 316 stainless steel, they won't corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. With an extremely smooth interior that self-drains, bacteria won't have time or space to grow. The spring and internal valve mechanisms are sealed off behind the diaphragm, which also prevents contamination. They connect with quick-clamp fittings, so disassembling to clean your line takes little time.
    These valves obstruct flow to maintain sufficient operating pressure in your system. If the system pressure exceeds the set pressure, they exhaust through the outlet. They meet ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class III standards for shut-off valves, meaning a maximum of 0.1% of fluid, gas, or air will escape through the outlet when they’re closed. An integrated T-handle lets you set the outlet pressure without additional tools. The diaphragm and seal resist repeated exposure to water, and they’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
