Penguin Gauge Guard Assembly: Automatic - CPVC \ FKM
Penguin Gauge Guard Assembly: Automatic - CPVC \ FKM

The Penguin plastic gauge guard is a unique, compact, molded design consisting of two threaded fluid chambers. There is no possibility of leakage due to uneven screwed components. Each piece contains a matching groove which confines the true o-ring incorporated on the OD of the impermeable diaphragm. A bleed plug and o-ring are included in the design for proper filling or the incompressible liquid in the gauge side chamber. This prevents air entrapment, thus providing an accurate reading with no needle vibrations.

Features
• Choice of materials CPVC, PVDF or Polypropylene   • Impermeable and resilient Viton diaphragm   • 1/4" FPT instrument (gauge) connection   • 1/2" FPT bottom system connection   • No metallic fasteners to corrode

Plast-O-Matic RVDM Series: Automatic - CPVC \ FKM
Plast-O-Matic RVDM Series: Automatic - CPVC \ FKM

Series RVDM In-Line Pressure Relief Valves feature a primary rolling diaphragm and secondary flat diaphragm which incorporates the Plast-O-Matic patented Fail-Dry® design for added protection. If the rolling diaphragm should fail, liquid will weep through the vent port which is located between the two diaphragms. Leakage indicates maintenance is required and can be conveniently scheduled, eliminating an emergency shutdown.  Series RVDM valves are supplied with adjustment screws so that the user can make his own setting according to pressure requirements. Pressure settings can also be made at the factory to customer’s requirements. RVDM valves can be set from 5 to 100 psi (5 to 120 psi for 1/2" size) by simply turning the adjusting bolt.

Plast-O-Matic RVT Series: Automatic - CPVC \ FKM
Plast-O-Matic RVT Series: Automatic - CPVC \ FKM

Series RVT is an angle pattern design featuring a non-sticking Teflon® shaft passing through three U-cup seals. Venting between the upper and center U-cups results in Plast-O-Matic’s patented Fail-Dry® design for added protection. In the meantime the third seal continues to protect the control spring. The RVT design starts with 1/2" pipe size and runs through 2". Set pressures from 5 to 100 PSI. Once the relief valve is set, the valve will remain closed as long as the tank or line pressure does not reach the set pressure. The valve will begin to relieve when the set pressure is reached and will require an overpressure of approximately 40% to fully open. When the pressure falls below the set pressure, the valve will again close. Series RVT relief valves are constructed of Type 1, Grade 1 PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, Teflon® or PVDF with solid Teflon® shaft. U-cup seals are EPDM or Viton®. The adjusting bolt, lock nut, control spring and fasteners are cadmium-plated steel. Stainless steel is available as an option.
