For Use With: Food, Beverage
Seal Material: Fluoroelastomer Rubber
Specifications Met: See table

Add automated on/off control to food equipment with these valves that meet NSF/ANSI 169, which designates them as safe to use with food. They operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow.

These valves are normally closed unless actuated. They don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. Body is 430 stainless steel for good corrosion resistance. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.

NEMA 6 valves meet a standard for resistance to washdowns, splashing water, temporary submersion, and 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.

Food Industry Solenoid On/Off Valves with Push-to-Connect Fittings

For Use With: Food, Beverage
Seal Material: EPR Rubber
Specifications Met: CSA Certified, NSF/ANSI 169

Insert tubing into the fittings on these valves—no heat, solder, or flux required. Valves meet NSF/ANSI 169 for use with food equipment. They operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow.

All are normally closed unless actuated. Valves don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.

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.

Batch-Dispensing On/Off Valves

Digital Display

For Use With: Beverage, Water, Kerosene, Bleach, Boric Acid, Deionized Water, Oil, Diesel Fuel, Food

Accurately and consistently dispense a specific amount of liquid—these actuated valves have a screen and buttons for programming batch size and calibration. They’ll automatically shut off once the set amount of liquid has been released. Their stainless steel body resists corrosion, so these valves can be used with harsh chemicals.
