Also known as diaphragm valves, these have a PTFE body and seals that stand up to harsh acidic solutions. The diaphragm can handle dirty liquid, slurries, and abrasive media without damage. All valves operate on compressed air to automatically start and stop flow. You must control the air to the actuator using either an electric pilot valve (not included) or a manual on/off valve (not included). These valves don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation.

All have a single-acting actuator that only requires air pressure to open the valve; they automatically spring closed when the air turns off. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear. Valves are normally closed unless actuated.

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.

A 316 stainless steel body and a PTFE seal stand up to aggressive and corrosive solutions in chemical-processing applications. Their ball-valve design allows these valves to handle at least three times the flow of standard flanged valves. For faster actuation than motor-driven valves, they operate on compressed air. You must control the air to the actuator using either the included electric pilot valve or a manual on/off valve (not included). These valves automatically start and stop flow and don't require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation.

Valves are full port, so they do not restrict flow. The actuator is secured to the valve body with a bracket for easy disassembly, maintenance, and repair. A visual flow indicator on the top of the actuator shows whether the valve is open or closed. The manual override allows you to operate the valve during power outages.

Single-acting actuators only require air pressure to open the valve; they automatically spring closed when the air turns off. These valves are normally closed unless actuated. Double-acting actuators require air pressure to open and close the valve. Once actuated, these valves remain actuated until air pressure is applied to close them, so they do not have a valve starting position.

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.

For high-flow chemical-processing applications, these valves have a ball-valve design that provides at least three times the flow of standard flanged valves. They have a 316 stainless steel body and a PTFE seal that can stand up to aggressive and corrosive solutions. Valves operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow. They don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. All are normally open unless actuated. Valves are full port, so they do not restrict flow.

The actuator is secured to the valve body with a bracket for easy disassembly, maintenance, and repair. A visual flow indicator on the top of the actuator shows whether the valve is open or closed. Two single pole, double throw (SPDT) auxiliary switches allow you to connect these valves to temperature-monitoring equipment, programmable logic controllers, or conveyor sirens. The internal heater automatically turns on when the valve is actuated to prevent motor damage caused by condensation buildup. The manual override allows you to operate the valve during power outages.

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.

For extra gripping power and a strong seal, these valves have Yor-Lok fittings with two sleeves that bite into tubing as you tighten the nut. All are compatible with Swagelok®, Let-Lok, and Parker A-Lok fittings. The 316 stainless steel body and seal, the PTFE seat and packing, and the Monel needle can withstand aggressive and corrosive solutions in chemical-processing applications. Turn the handle to adjust flow in small increments for metering, sampling, and other applications requiring fine flow control. Threads and a hex nut below the handle allow you to mount these valves in instrument panels. All have a nut that can be tightened to compress the packing if it leaks. Valves have bubble-tight soft seats that provide a tight seal when the valve is completely closed.

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.

Cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves can withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. All have a vented relief port to exhaust discharge directly.

These valves meet ASME Code Section VIII for use with cryogenic pressure vessels. Rated for use with liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid helium, liquid methane, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen, they are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. All spring fully open at the set pressure and remain open until the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Attach a drain line to the threaded relief port for remote discharge.

Cleaned and bagged to meet CGA G-4.1 for oxygen service and other high-purity applications, these valves are built to withstand the extreme cold of liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They begin opening at the set pressure and fully open at about 10% over the set pressure. Valves begin closing as pressure drops and fully close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Set pressure is not adjustable.

Valves are not intended for direct contact with cryogenic liquids. Risers (sold separately) are required to convert cryogenic liquids into gases before they contact the valve. 3/8 NPT valve requires a 1/2 NPT × 3/8 NPT bushing when using a riser.

Adapters (sold separately) convert the valve relief-port connection from UNEF female threads to NPT female threads.

For a longer service life than standard valves for cryogenic liquids, these have a durable bronze body. All are cleaned and bagged for oxygen service and other high-purity applications. They automatically reduce a high, variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. Adjust the outlet pressure within the range. Valves are designed to withstand the extreme cold of liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, and liquid oxygen. They have an internal strainer to trap debris.

Automatically reduce a high inlet pressure from compressed gas tanks to a lower, stable outlet pressure. These valves have Compressed Gas Association (CGA) numbered inlet fittings for secure connections to compressed gas tanks. Choose a valve with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components. Valves come with a gauge to monitor outlet pressure. They are single stage and reduce pressure in one step, which causes the outlet pressure to fluctuate slightly as you empty the tank.

Choose a valve with a maximum outlet pressure that’s approximately twice your application’s normal operating pressure. Your operating pressure should never exceed 75% of the valve’s maximum outlet pressure.
