They are available in 11/8-, 1 .50-, and 2-inch bore sizes, and have a variety of standard mounting options. Allenair Corporationhttp://rbi.ims.ca/3850-590

Check valve

Tight seal, corrosion resistant

The CKS series of self-sealing thermoplastic check valves are engineered for corrosive and ultra-pure liquids. They are designed to safeguard process systems by maintaining a positive closure. Offered in 1.50-, 2-, and 3-inch pipe sizes, the product uses a spring encapsulated with Teflon^(R) PFA to protect liquids from contamination. This encapsulation is an advantage over coated springs, which tend to flake and corrode over time, according to the company. Plast-O-Matic Valves Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3850-591

Rotary hand valves

Durable

The company's variety of rotary hand valves are designed for use in heavy industrial applications. They are engineered from die cast aluminum and are reportedly proven to be very durable in applications that feature harsh operating conditions. Valves feature an easy-to-grasp-and-rotate handle, and they have a detented center position. They are suitable for use in compressed air environments and feature a maximum operating pressure of 140 psi. IMI Norgren Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3850-592

Butterfly valve

For harsh conditions

Created especially for low pressure, high heat, and highly abrasive applications where immediate and bubble tight shutoff isn't required, the Fly Ash series of butterfly valves is available in 4- to 12-inch sizes and reportedly maintains a median gap of 0.010 inches between the valve disk/stem and bore. They are intended for fly ash collection systems in which the highly abrasive nature and high temperature of the media renders standard resilient seated butterfly valves useless. Ultraflo Corporationhttp://rbi.ims.ca/3850-593

Media containment unit

Reduces fugitive emissions

Created as an accessory to the company's ball valves, the Media Containment Unit reportedly provides a secondary seal that can be monitored for early detection of stem leaks. The investment cast stainless steel unit is highly corrosion-resistant and well suited for harsh environments. The company claims that it is easy to install in the field onto the company's existing .25- to 10-inch ball valves. It also reportedly lowers operating costs by reducing lost production time because of fugitive emissions and unscheduled maintenance. Flow-Tekhttp://rbi.ims.ca/3850-594

Air filter

Dual-stage compression

The BA-series of dual-stage compressed air filters are engineered as point-of-use breathing air filters. They are suited for aircraft cabin air, food processing/packaging, and can reportedly be used as a prefilter for such critical needs as zero air generators, membrane filters, and instrument air dryers. Each housing is designed with two elements inside: a coalescer and an absorber. The products are offered in .75- and 1-inch NPT connector sizes with a maximum pressure of 500 psig.
