Forged Needle Valve (FNV)

Product catalog summary
Description: The Series FNV Needle Valves are designed with a forged body and integral bonnet, featuring PTFE and metallic wafer stem packing for leak-tight service from vacuum to 5000 Psig (345 Bar). Available in straight and angle configurations, these valves support NPT and Dual Ferrule Tube connections and can be cleaned for oxygen service.
Features: Key features include low operating torque due to metallic and PTFE wafer stem packing, standard panel mounting, optional soft stem tip, and suitability for cryogenic service. All valves are 100% factory tested.
Technical Data: The maximum operating pressure at 100º F is 3000 Psig for brass and 5000 Psig for stainless steel. Temperature and pressure ratings vary with material and temperature, with a metal-to-metal stem temperature range of -320° to 450° F and a PCTFE soft stem tip range of -20° to 200°F. The orifice size is 0.17” with a flow coefficient (Cv) of 0.37.
Testing: Each valve is factory tested with nitrogen at 3000 Psig for leakage, with a maximum allowable seat leakage of 0.1cc/min.
Materials of Construction: The valve body is made from brass or 316 stainless steel, with various components constructed from materials such as PTFE, PCTFE, and nylon.
Dimensional Data: The document provides detailed dimensions for various model codes, indicating the size and configuration of the valves.
Ordering Information: The model code includes options for body configuration, material, and additional features such as a soft tip stem or stainless steel handle. Cleaning options for oxygen service are also available.
Note: Proper component selection is crucial, considering the total system design for safe and trouble-free performance.
