Model # PV10 Open Body Pinch Valve

Benefits & Features

The Cla-Val Series PV10 Open Body Pinch Valves provide simple means to manually control the flow of abrasive and corrosive slurries, liquids and solids.

The valve operates by turning the handwheel clockwise to close, counter-clockwise to open like a gate valve, but unlike a gate valve the PV10 series valve has no sliding or rubbing metal surfaces to wear out - the sleeve is merely squeezed to the desired open or closed position. As a standard sleeve material, pure gum rubber with reinforced polyester fabric is used for highest strength and longer lasting cycle life.

Model # PV15 High Pressure Open Body Pinch Valve

Benefits & Features

The Cla-Val Series PV15 High Pressure Open Body Pinch Valves provide simple means to manually control the flow of abrasive and corrosive slurries, liquids and solids.

The valve operates by turning the handwheel clockwise to close, counter-clockwise to open like a gate valve, but unlike a gate valve the PV15  series valve has no sliding or rubbing metal surfaces to wear out - the sleeve is merely squeezed to the desired open or closed position. As a standard sleeve material, pure gum rubber with reinforced polyester fabric is used for highest strength and longer lasting cycle life.

Model # PV20 Closed Body Pinch Valve

Benefits & Features

The Cla-Val Series PV20 Closed Body Pinch Valves provide simple means to manually control the flow of abrasive and corrosive slurries, liquids and solids.

The valve operates by turning the handwheel clockwise to close, counter-clockwise to open like a gate valve, but unlike a gate valve the PV20 series valve has no packing or metal surfaces to wear out - the sleeve is merely squeezed to the desired open or closed position.The standard sleeve material, pure gum rubber, is made with reinforced polyester fabric for highest strength and longer lasting cycle life. Sizes 8" and larger are available with bevel gear operators for automatic operation.

Model # PV30 Split-Body Pinch Valve

Benefits & Features

The Cla-Val Series PV30 Split Body Pinch Valves provide a positive means to control flow of hard to handle, aggressive media such as slurries, sludges and dry solids.The standard, pure gum elastomer sleeve, the only moving part of the valve, is contained in a cast iron or aluminum  housing. The annular space surrounding the sleeve and the housing becomes the valve actuator when charged with air or water.

As pressurized air or water enters the annular space, the elastomer sleeve is squeezed shut. Venting the pressurized air or water opens the valve.
