Product Selection Differences for Moulded Suction Valves

When selecting molded suction valves, there are several key differences to consider, including:

  1. Material: The material used in the construction of the valve is crucial for its performance and durability. Common materials include PVC, CPVC, and polypropylene, each with different chemical resistance properties.

  2. Size and Compatibility: Ensure that the valve size matches the piping size and is compatible with the specific system requirements.

  3. Valve Type: There are various types of suction valves, such as ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, and check valves. Each type has its own advantages and applications.

  4. Pressure Rating: Consider the pressure rating of the valve to ensure it can withstand the operating pressure of the system.

  5. Flow Rate: The flow rate or Cv value of the valve indicates its capacity to handle fluid flow. Choose a valve with an appropriate flow rate for your application.

  6. End Connections: Check the end connections of the valve to ensure they are compatible with your piping system.

  7. Features: Look for additional features such as corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, ease of maintenance, and compliance with industry standards.

By considering these factors, you can select the most suitable molded suction valve for your specific application and requirements.
