Media




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Air (general)
 
     The valve can handle all types of non-pressurized air.
 
   Breathable Air
 
     Air that is free of contamination and is suitable for inhalation.
 
   Compressed Air
 
     Air that is under a pressure greater than atmosphere.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary media.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Regulator Type




   Regulator       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Regulator (general)
 
     Regulators maintain a constant outlet pressure.
 
   Back Pressure Regulators
 
     Back pressure regulators control upstream (inlet) pressure. They function similarly to relief valves.
 
   Change Over Regulators
 
     Change over regulators are combination valves and pressure regulators, fitted to a multiple-cylinder assembly that will automatically change over from a cylinder in use to a reserve cylinder at a predetermined pressure.
 
   Differential / Bias Regulators
 
     Differential pressure regulators, or bias pressure regulators, maintain constant differential pressure between a reference pressure and the pressure of the controlled fluid.
 
   Filter, Regulator, Lubricator Assembly (FRL)
 
     Filter, regulator, lubricators (FRL) are pre-packaged or modular assemblies of common configurations of air filters, regulators, lubricators and gauges.
 
   Point of Use Regulators
 
     Point of use regulators are installed directly into fluid lines.  They are single stage regulators that are used to provide point-of-use pressure monitoring and control. Point of use regulators are often referred to as line regulators.
 
   Pressure Reducing Regulators
 
     Pressure-reducing regulators are used to provide a sub-circuit with a supply of fluid at a pressure that is less than the pressure in the main circuit.
 
   Two Stage Regulators
 
     Two-stage gas regulators reduce cylinder pressure in two steps and should be used when constant delivery pressure is needed without periodic adjustment.
 
   Vacuum / Absolute Pressure Regulators
 
     Vacuum or absolute pressure regulators control fluid at low positive pressures or below atmospheric pressure (absolute pressure).
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary regulators.

   Pressure Rating
 
     Maximum safe pressure value for which the valve is rated.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Controlled Pressure Range
 
     Limits of adjustment control.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Vacuum Control Pressure
 
     Maximum safe vacuum pressure for which the valve is rated.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Media Temperature
 
     Maximum temperature of media the valve is designed to accommodate.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Actuation       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Manual / Hand
 
     The valve is actuated (opened or closed) via a hand operated wheel or crank.
 
   Mechanical Device
 
     A mechanical device such as a float or cam activates the valve. This does not include powered actuators.
 
   Electric
 
     An electric actuator activates the valve.
 
   Electro-hydraulic
 
     A servo valve that produces hydraulic control in response to an electrical signal input.
 
   Electro-pneumatic
 
     A servo valve that produces pneumatic control in response to an electrical signal input.
 
   Pilot Operated
 
     A pilot valve activates the valve.
 
   Pneumatic
 
     The valve is activated by a pneumatic actuator or cylinder to open and close valve. 
 
   Thermally Actuated
 
     The valve is activated by a change in temperature in the handled media. Typically, temperature and pressure relief occurs once a preset temperature is reached.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary actuation method.

Features




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Stack Mounted
 
     The valve is constructed in a modular format, so that it can be assembled to create a valve block.  This type of valve is also referred to as a sandwich or modular valve.
 
   Cartridge / Manifold Valves
 
     Cartridge valves are directional control valves that are inserted into manifolds to provide a cost effective compact system design.
 
   Severe Service Rated
 
     The valve is designated by manufacturer as being suitable for severe service applications where there are continuing operational, maintenance or reliability issues with a given application.
 
   Precision Control
 
     The valve has the ability to accurately control the flow or pressure.
 
   Lockout / Tamper Proof
 
     The valve has a device to prevent unauthorized use.
