Materials include AISI 316 Stainless Steel and steel with zinc plating and Cr III passivation. Seals are made from NBR Nitrile Rubber, with options for Viton, Neoprene, and EPDM. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C (-13°F) to +125°C (+257°F).

Features
Valves feature an elastomeric seal for reliable sealing under various conditions. The VU...S Series includes throated check valves for calibrated flow in one direction, while the VUC series offers metal sealing for enhanced durability.
