GFLO Control Valve Advantages and Feature
Does Exactly What It's Commanded to do
- Stiff, high-thrust cylinder actuator
- Accurate positioning
- High repeatability
- Faithful response
- Controlled, high-speed stroking action
Won't Stick and Shut down the Process
- Cage guiding eliminated
- Double stem guiding located out of flow stream
- Generous clearance between plug head and seat retainer
Easy, Fast and Inexpensive to Maintain
- Top-entry servicing
- Clamped-in seat ring
- Evenly-compressed gasket – controlled gasket compression
- Separable flanges
- High degree of parts interchangeability Small, lightweight design
Won't Leak When Commanded to Close
- High-thrust, spring-cylinder actuator
- Self-aligning seat ring
- Assisted shutoff from fluid pressure, cylinder spring, cylinder pressure
- Spring fails valve to desired position, pneumatics provide additional force
Built for Toughest Service
- Corrosion resistant construction
- High thrust overcomes high pressures
- Anti-cavitation and noise trim options
- Heavy-duty plug stem
- Factory Mutual Approved as a fuel service valve (¾ - 3-inch)
Compact and easy to install
- Cylinder actuator is smaller than comparable diaphragm actuators
- Lower center of gravity than comparable diaphragm actuators
- Light weight means less pipe stress from static and dynamic loads
- Separable end flanges allow the valve to be installed in many orientations and compensate for flange misalignment
Design provides lower total life-time cost
- High interchangeability between sizes and other MASCOT products
- Valve design minimizes requirements for stocking spare parts
- Rugged, heavy-duty parts provide extended life
- Actuator design allows simple, easy maintenance
