Product catalog summary
Company Overview: Kepner Products Company, established in 1948, specializes in innovative zero leakage control valves for liquid and gas applications. Customers are advised to consult the factory or distributor for product selection and are responsible for ensuring proper installation and maintenance.
Product Description - Single Lock Valves: The lock valve integrates a Kepsel Cartridge Insert Check with a robust pilot operator, allowing free flow from valve port to cylinder port and locking reverse flow until pilot pressure is applied. This design prevents load drift or circuit creep, crucial for applications like clamping cylinders or stabilizer jacks.
Features and Benefits:
  • Flexible Seal Seat ensures zero leak (bubble-tight) seal locking.
  • Close fitting pilot piston with pressure balancing grooves minimizes pilot loss.
  • Basic pilot ratio of 3:1.
  • High strength, lightweight aluminum body with mounting holes for easy installation.
Valve Specifications:
  • End Connections/Ports: 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch NPTF or SAE tube.
  • Pilot: 1/4 inch NPTF.
  • Materials: Aluminum body, steel valve module, stainless pilot piston, steel port caps.
  • O-Ring Seals: Teflon® for internal check valves, Buna N for cylinder/pilot port caps.
  • Temperature Range: -40°F to 300°F (-40°C to 149°C), dependent on O-Ring material.
  • Operating Pressure: Up to 3000 PSI (207 bar).
  • Flow Capacity: Up to 40 GPM (151 LPM).

Single Lock Valves-1

Flexible Seal Seat The lock valve combines a Kepsel Cartridge Insert Check with a rugged pilot operator.They free flow from valve port to cylinder port (or to portion of circuit) and "lock" reverse flow until pilot pressure is applied to unlock the internal check valve and allow reverse flow. Kepner's provides positive bubble-tight locking to prevent loaddrift or circuit creep, and answers the need where internal leakage could adversely affect performance such as with clamping cylinders or outrigger stabilizer jacks. Standard and specialty valve designs handle a wide variety of applications for dependable position and load holding, including safety holding against line rupture or control valve leakage. > ensures zero leak (bubble-tight) seal locking > Close fitting pilot piston with pressure balancing grooves for minimal pilot loss > Basic pilot ratio 3:1 > High strength, light weight aluminum body > Mounting holes for installation > End Connections/Ports: 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch NPTF or SAE tube > Pilot: 1/4 inch NPTF > Body: Aluminum; Valve Module: Steel; Pilot Piston: Stainless; Port Caps: Steel > O-Ring Seals: Teflon > (internal check valves), Buna N (cylinder/pilot port caps) > Temperature: -40F to 300аF (-40C to 149аC), O-Ring dependent > Flow: to 40 GPM (151 LPM) > Consult Factory or Distributor for more help.
