EX Approved Pinch Valve

AKO UK has launched its new EX Pinch Valve for use in potentially explosive environments. The valve is physically very similar to the 'standard' Pinch Valve, keeping many of the main advantages. In fact the only real visible differences are the lock teeth washers and the earth connection. The washer teeth are used on the flange bolts to give full contact to the aluminum body through the paint. This ensures the electrical current to pass through the Pinch Valve if required. Please find a downloadable information sheet below. Pinch Valve Sizes Available: 15mm - 50mm Screwed Socket, types VMC/VMP 40mm - 200mm Flanged, types V/VF EX Pinch Valve Pinch Valve Body Materials: Aluminum or POM Pinch Valve End Connections: Flanged PN10/16, ANSI 150, Internal Screwed BSP Zones Zones 1/21 or 2/22 Pinch Valve Conductive Sleeves: Natural Rubber, FQ Natural Rubber, EPDM and Nitrile.
