Air-operated (actuated) valves are mainly used in systems requiring open and close operations. Typically used on production lines, they are also suitable for other applications, including harsh chemicals, pollution control, wet processing stations, plating equipment, chemical processing, and water treatment applications. Manual or electric pneumatic controls can open the valve, and when the airflow stops, the valves will close. The valves can be operated in any position and have direct-acting full flow with a top entry for easy maintenance and minimum water hammer. EPDM or Kalrez O-rings are available by special order; contact us for a quote.
