I n d u s trial Excess Flow Valves

Stop uncontrolled release of system media if downstream line ruptures

XS Series
Pressures up to 6000 psig (413 bar) Temperatures up to 400F (204C) 1/8 to 1/2 in. and 6 to 12 mm end connections Stainless steel construction

Industrial Excess Flow Valves Slotted poppet improves performance and reliability provides high-flow capacity eliminates nuisance tripping.

Features

Open Position

Flow

Choice of tube, pipe, or face seal end connections eases installation increases system versatility lowers overall cost.

Tripped Position

Spring-loaded actuation eases operation allows valve to work in any orientation, enhancing system safety.

Bleed vent eliminates complex bypass mechanisms allows spring to reset poppet automatically.

All metal seat improves durability requires no maintenance.

Operation
The spring-loaded poppet remains in the open position during normal system operation. Should an excess flow condition occur downstream, the poppet rapidly moves to the tripped position, stopping uncontrolled release of system media. When the system pressure equalizes through the bleed vent, the spring automatically resets the poppet to the open position. The flow through the bleed vent is less than 1 % of the flow rate in the trip range.

Pressure-Temperature Ratings
Ratings based on fluorocarbon FKM O-rings. See Optional O-Ring Materials, page 4. Pressure ratings may be limited by the end connection. See Ordering Information and Dimensions, page 4.
