Many industrial applications require very robust valves which are resistant to thermal shocks and dusty or damp conditions.
They must be able to transport liquids such as steam of more or less good quality, high pressure hot water, hot or cold liquids, corrosive liquids, inert gases or vacuum.

The new 298/398 range with its stainless steel body has all the qualities that these industries require.

– 2 million cycles on saturated steam
– an operating pressure up to 40 bar
– a bidirectional flow
– anti-waterhammer mechanism
– a large operating pressure range from 1 to 10 bar
– use of noble materials in order to work with liquids with temperatures from –10 to more than 250°C and in environments with temperatures from –25 up to 180°C.

Easy to set up and maintain
The original design of the “high performance” stuffing box requires no servicing and therefore does not require any preventive maintenance.
Compact, lightweight and reliable, the 298/398 range markedly reduces assembly, connection and maintenance cost
