3VM01S Series 3 Valve Manifold
PIPE TO PIPE, HARD SEAT, 6000PSI

OVERVIEW

The valve manifolds are available in 316 stainless steel; PTFE is the standard packing material.  The flow through a Vee-Lok manifold is controlled by a series of stainless steel needle valves.  Each valve has a specific function –to block pressure, to bleed off pressure, or to equalize pressure-depending on its location on the manifold.

FEATURES

  • The valves are designed for mounting on differential pressure transmitters or gauges with a calibration facility.
  • The valves consist of two isolate valves and one equalizer valve.  To help in identification, the bonnets are color coded as follows:
    Blue = isolate
    Green = equalize
    Red = vent
  • The valves are designed in horizontal body style and in 1/2” NPT female ends.
  • Body to bonnet seal is metal to metal in constant compression, creating a reliable seal point to eliminate possible tensile breakage of bonnet and isolate the bonnet threads from process fluid corrosion.
  • Dust caps are fitted to contain stem lubricant and prevent the ingress of contaminants.
  • The stem threads are rolled and lubricated to prevent galling and reduce operating torque.
  • All bonnets are assembled with a locking pin to prevent accidental removal while in service.
  • The valves feature safety back seating to ensure a secondary stem seal.
  • All valves are hydrostatically tested to 1.5 times maximum working pressure prior to shipment.
  • The valves are heat code traceable.
