2-WAY NORMALLY OPEN Valve
General purpose valves for pneumatic and hydraulic applications. The versatility of these valves is increased to include the handling of hot air, hot water, refrigerants and many other media, by the use of different seals. Air and other fluids compatible with standard Buna seals. Hot water, steam, gasoline, oils, some hydraulic fluids, and many media require special seal materials.
- General purpose valve with reduced power consumption.
- Increased versatility.
- For pneumatic and hydraulic application.
- Increased to handle hot air, water and refrigerants.
- High quality engineering.

Ordering Information:
When ordering valves or repair packs add voltage and frequency to complete valve number. for examples: valve (LW51J8XGML 120/60) repair pack (KLW51JX AC)
When ordering operators add the letter “O” to the front of the valve number, replace body port number with the letter “D”: example: operator (OLW51JDDGML 120/60)

PeterPaul has created this page for you so you can calculate the flow or Cv (flow coefficient) to make the relationship visible between the pressure drop (the difference in pressure between two points of a liquid/gas carrying network) and the flow rate.
The use of this flow coefficient (Cv) calculator offers a standard calculation to compare valve capacities and sizing for a wide range of applications. The type and sizing of a valve or regulator can have a large impact on the performance of the assembly for transferring gas or liquids in the system.
