Description
Our hand expansion valves are available in a globe design to work with pipe sizes from ¼” to 1 ¼” and in an angle design to work with pipe sizes from ¼” to 1”. They come with zinc-plated carbon steel (-CS) or stainless steel (-SS) stems. The valve body materials are ductile iron or C.I. 40 and are pressure tested for leakage after assembly.

- The valve body has a tapered orifice through a raised seat. Needle point and fine pitch stem threads allow close regulation of flow.
- All expansion valves are equipped with T-handles to distinguish them from shut-off valves.
- The packing ring chamber is of special design: It is machined so that sealing is necessary only around the stem proper.
- The composition packing ring is impregnated with graphite for ease of operation and will not deteriorate in service.
