Valves & Actuation
Asahi/America Omni® Ball Valves are quick opening and closing; a quarter turn is all that is necessary. They provide tight sealing at low torque. The Omni® series is an economical, one-piece design which cannot be taken apart. Asahi/America Omni® Ball Valves have Teflon® seats which provide permanent lubrication and allow the valve to be operated with minimal effort. The Teflon® seats are backed by EPDM backing cushions. Also available in an electrically actuated version. 150 psi rating @ 120°F.
Hayward Needle Valves are used for accurate metering of fluids. Turning the thumb wheel moves a tapered piston into the Teflon® seat to control the flow down to a few drops per minute. Precision molded, fine-pitched stem threads permit this very fine metering flow control. Pressure Rating - 150 psi @ 70°F (non-shock).
Produced in two styles: Globe pattern (straight 180°) and Angle pattern (90°). NSF standard 14 & 61 compliant, FDA, USDA and USP standards met or exceeded. Fine metering control, excellent linearity of flow. No elastomer (O-rings) metals or lubricants. Working pressures to 250 psi @ 70°F.
