Thermoplastic Diaphragm Valves

Diaphragm valves offer many combinations of body materials and elastomeric diaphragm materials. The valve design is abrasion-resistant and non-clogging. When the diaphragm, which is connected to the stem of the valve by a compressor, is pulled away from the bottom of the valve body or weir, the path of the fluid has a smooth, streamlined flow. Slurries at low pressure that would normally clog most other valve designs easily pass through a diaphragm valve. The valve has a top-entry design, allowing in-line maintenance; it is suitable for throttling and on/off service in applications ranging from water treatment to chemical abrasion processes. Diaphragm valves are operated manually, electrically, or pneumatically.
