Valve’s all new Type R all-elastomer pinch valve
is an ideal valve for water, chemical, solids,
and slurry applications. The valve is easily
installed between two pieces of pipe with hose
clamps. Simply add 20 psi air pressure over
line pressure and the valve closes drop tight.
For example: Process line pressure is 45
psi; 20 psi over line pressure, or 65 psi, closes
the valve. It’s that simple!
The
Type R has all the advantages of a Pinch Valve:
no packing gland or seat crevices; this full port
valve eliminates bridging or slurry dewatering
blockage associated with metal seated valves.
Each time the valve flexes it self-cleans.
The Type R Pinch Valve is ideal for use with pulse
type control systems. The lightweight design
of the Type R Pinch Valve makes pipe supports
unnecessary. The type R is an excellent
valve to have in stock for an instant valve repair
or to isolate a pipeline.
The
valve body is elastomer reinforced with fabric,
bonded to the inner sleeve - the only wetted
part. Air connection is a 5/16” valve stem.
The unique one-piece design of the Type R Pinch
Valve eliminates the need for actuators, making
this the most affordable, maintenance-free automatic
valve available to industry!
