Features & Benefits:

  • O-ring seats are available for exceptional leak-free performance, reduced maintenance cost, multiple cycles with tight shutoff, and improved seating integrity.
  • Wide hex on valve nozzle provides wrenching service clearance for easy installation.
  • Dual control rings offer easy adjustability for precise opening with minimum pre-open or simmer and exact blowdown control.
  • Pivot between disc and spring corrects misalignment and compensates for spring side thrust.
  • Grooved piston model disc reduces sliding area and friction.
  • Each Kunkle valve is tested and inspected for pressure setting and leakage.
