The KSL-LA Slurry Valve features sleeves of natural rubber or other elastomers that are compressed by sleeve retainers that allow the valve to provide drip-tight shutoff. In addition, the KSL-LA valve features:
- Bi-directional, drip tight shutoff to full pressure rating
- Field replaceable sleeves with encapsulated supporting ring
- Full port reduces turbulence and pressure drop across the valve
- Sleeve compression eliminates cavity where solids can collect
- Sleeve design eliminates the requirement of flange gaskets
- Gate fully retracts out of the flow path in the open position
- Full flanged design with flange drilling per ASME B16.5 Class 150, DIN and BS standards, PN10 and PN16, and SANS 1123-1000 and 1600 Australian Table D & E (AS 2129) are available
- Body construction allows for easy repairs.
- Sleeve design eliminates gate and stem packing.
- Straight vertical plane superstructure allows for easy installation of accessories
