Inlet Valves

Valves
Valves

Heavy-duty inlet valves enable a quick connection between the male hose coupling and the vacuum cleaning system. These components are designed to be inserted into a 2” FNPT threaded fitting that adapts to a 2-1/8” tube size. The valves feature self-closing covers and are available in galvanized and stainless steel as well as nickel-plated models. Escutcheon plates enhance the aesthetic appeal of wall installations.

The same body is used for all three valves; only the bore varies. The IV-150 and IV-200 include a slight taper for hose adapter retention, while the IV-200-CLIP and IV-180 utilize a clip on the valve lid for retention. Hose adapters are made from heavy-duty galvanized steel.

Couplings
Methods of Joining

There are several methods of joining depending on the application and a variety of factors. The two most common are bolt-couplings and Shrink-Couplings.  Bolt couplings require straight ends while shrink-sleeves require expanded ends. 

There are various different types of bolt couplings, with different types of rubber gasketing, ground strap connectors, and other features.  Send us an email: sales@controlledairdesign.com for more information.
