Frequently Asked Questions
For extreme temperatures, PTFE is recommended as it can withstand up to 200°C (-58 to 392°F), while Viton is suitable for up to 230°C.
Yes, the Series F101 supports electric and pneumatic actuators for sizes from 1½" to 48", allowing for seamless integration into automated control systems.
We offer Stainless Steel (ASTM A351 CF8, CF8M, CF3, CF3M) for both the body and disc to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.
The wafer design, combined with our unique clip-on feature, makes the F101 much easier and faster to install between flanges compared to traditional valves.
These refer to different pressure standard ratings. We provide dimensions and builds compatible with both ANSI and PN standards to meet global regional requirements.
While elastomer seats can withstand very low temperatures without damage, they may become harder, which typically increases the torque required to operate the valve.
