ITT Engineered Valves
Fabri-Valve C42 Recycle / Reject Valve
The Fabri-Valve C42 is a heavy-duty knife gate valve configured specifically for recycle and rejects services, where the flow carries staples, wire and other tramp debris. Its hard gate and overlaid seat work together as a shear that cuts through whatever the line delivers.
Product Benefits
- Heavily overlaid seat: The seat is protected on both its bore and face by a thick overlay of impact-resistant alloy.
- Precision-ground hard gate: The gate is ground from a very hard, corrosion-resistant alloy.
- Slices instead of jamming: Together the two cut through debris rather than sticking on it.
- Open-bore body: The cast stainless body eliminates the tight cavities where staples and wire tend to compact.
- Sealed stem, aligned actuator: Live-loaded, abrasion-resistant packing keeps the stem sealed through high cycle counts, and self-supporting yokes prevent actuator alignment problems.
Where It's Used
- Recycle and rejects: It is purpose-built for recycle and rejects services.
- Debris-laden lines: These are the lines where ordinary knife gate valves jam, erode or fail to close.
- Automated installations: Cylinder actuation suits it to installations that cycle frequently.
Good to Know
- Heavy-duty cast body: The body is heavy-duty cast stainless steel across a wide size range, with larger sizes available on request.
- Vortex Breaker option: An optional Vortex Breaker adds a hard-faced, replaceable seat with hardened lugs for the most punishing services.
- Self-maintaining stem seal: Because the packing follower is live loaded, the seal maintains itself as the packing wears.
- Long intervals between adjustments: That is a key contributor to long service between adjustments in high-cycle duty.
