DIAPHRAGM VALVE
True Union
(1/2"-2"SOC./THD./FLANGED)

Design Advantages

  • Solid thermoplastic body and bonnet for best overall corrosion resistance.
  • Extra heavy EPDM diaphragm or optional PTFE diaphragm fully backed by EPDM, for long service life under the most severe conditions.
  • Fully lubricated brass stem and sleeve.
  • Unique concave/convex PTFE/ EPDM diaphragm design insures PTFE barrier returns to full open position.
  • Standard, adjustable full close position over travel stop to eliminate premature diaphragm failure due to overtightening.
  • Full stroke, fully protected open/close position indication.
  • Stainless steel or plastic encapsulated external hardware.
  • Longer service life and higher Cv values than rubber lined valves.
  • Can be used in lined, metal FRP or thermoplastic piping systems.
  • Flanged application valves designed to fit between ANSI B16.5 Class 150 flanges.
