SERIES V11B
ARMORED GAUGE VALVES - OFFSET
Benefits & Features
- Continuous visual observation of liquid level with no power requirements (power only required for optional sensors)
- Safety Automatic Ball Checks protect against potential process material loss
- Offset configuration for maximizing visible glass in side or back connection configurations
- Product design and floating shanks allow for at least 3/8” tolerance for specified vessel centers (for 1/2″ and 3/4” only)
- Excellent valves for adding flanged union vessel connections
- Suitable for vacuum service (with Ball checks removed)
- Low maintenance
