Linatex LinaValve CT
Linatex LinaValve CT is a handwheel operated, open frame pinch valve lined with Linatex premium natural rubber. Designed for effective control of abrasive and corrosive flow media, its simple clamp-on design allows for quick installation into existing piping. The LinaValve CT provides both efficient modulating flow control and drip tight shut off through its centerline close, dual action pinch mechanism. The valve’s open body configuration allows for easy visual evaluation of valve position and simplifies maintenance and sleeve replacement. The LinaValve CT is applicable for liquid-solid slurry and gas-solid pneumatic conveying services.
Features
- Linatex anti-abrasive premium red rubber is the standard sleeve lining.
- Clamp-on end connection facilitates valve’s installation into existing piped systems.
- Sleeve ends slip over standard wall pipe.
- Full bore/full flow design results in low friction loss and high flow capacity.
- Center pinch design for predictable linear flow performance, reduced turbulence and longer sleeve wear life.
- Extended sleeve length improves sleeve closing and opening performance, reduces stresses on sleeve clamp-on end connections and minimizes wear on adjacent piping.
- One piece sleeve protects operating mechanism and body parts from exposure to process.
- High flexibility sleeve design reduces closing forces, improves recovery to full open position and ensures drip tight shut off.
- Open body configuration allows easy visual evaluation of valve position, simplifies valve maintenance and sleeve replacement and lowers weight.
- Elastomer sleeve reduces piping vibration and water hammer.
- Low force manual handwheel actuation
