KTV Tubular Valves For Level Gauges

Application:

The KENCO Tubular Valve (KTV), when used with a KENCO "SAFEGUARD" level gauge or KENCO "EPG" level gauge, provides maximum operator safety and environmental protection from a potential gauge glass failure. The KTV is designed for service in low to medium pressure applications up to 500 psig.

Features:
  • The 1/8″ thick o-ring provides for easy installation of the glass and requires less wrenching of the packing nut to seal
  • Positive O-ring seal gauge glass connection
  • 1/2″ OR 3/4″ MNPT rigid vessel connections
  • Ball check shut off
  • Inline vent and drain connection for easy glass cleaning
  • Straight pattern design
  • Braided PTFE stem packing
  • Flanged vessel connections available
  • All valves are supplied with 316 S.S. valve stems, ball checks and glass packing washer
  • The bodies are precision investment castings with each body pressure tested to assure quality
