Product catalog summary
Description: The Series 4000 Quick Opening Valve is designed for use in instrumentation and control panels, functioning as an in-line on-off switch. It allows for quick operation from full-closed to full-open with a 60° turn of the knob. Available in 2-way and 3-way designs, the valve can be spring-loaded to return to the off position when released. The 3-way design vents downstream pressure to the atmosphere when off. These valves are compact and suitable for in-line and panel mount applications, with options for oxygen service packaging.

Quick Opening Valve (Series 4000)-1

QUICK OPENING VALVE 1/8” & 1/4” NPT 125 Psig (8.6 Bar) The Series 4000 Quick Opening Valve functions as in-line on-off switch particularly suited to applications in Instrumentation and Control Panels to open and close circuits or isolate gauges. The unique design of these valves permits full-closed to full-open operation quickly with a 60° turn of the knob. Standard units will detent in the selected position or, if desired, can be spring loaded (Option R) to return to the off position when released. The Series 4000 is offered in 2-way and 3-way designs. The 2-way design is a snap action on-off control, while the 3-way design offers the same snap on-off action while venting the downstream pressure to atmosphere when in the off position. These valves are compact in size and can be utilized for in-line and panel mount applications. Valves can be ordered Cleaned and Packaged for Oxygen service.
