Product Features:
Engineered for seamless and quick transition between manual and pneumatic operation, this valve features an innovative lubricant injection port that guarantees smooth performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
The clevis design, along with horizontal bolting, ensures the gate remains stable and properly aligned throughout operation.
The valve is equipped with standard multi-layer square packing, providing superior gland sealing. For enhanced sealing capabilities, an optional energized quad seal packing is also available.
A wiper/anti-extrusion ring reduces the gap between the gate and the valve body, contributing to more efficient operation.
With a full-port design, the valve offers an unrestricted flow path, resulting in minimal pressure drop and optimal flow characteristics.
The deflection-resistant gate design ensures consistent alignment, offering exceptional durability in demanding industrial environments.
Additionally, the replaceable, flexible wire-reinforced elastomer seat ensures reliable, bidirectional zero-leakage shutoff, making it ideal for critical applications.
