High performance valve Parker Instrumentation Products

Parker Instrumentation's high-pressure hand valves feature the company'sMPI(tm) end connections. Instead of offering traditional 'cone and thread' connections to tubing, the new valves - which include many options for operation at up to 15,000 PSI/1034 bar - come with familiar compression tube fitting ends.

These joints can be assembled in seconds by simply tightening a nut.

The new MPI valve range includes 2- and 3-way ball valves, 2-way needle valves in inline or angle configurations, check valves, relief valves, plus options for 3- and 2-way pressure and stem connections.

The range includes options for pressures from 10,000 to 15,000 PSI / 690 to 1034 bar, and tubing sizes from 1/4 to 3/4 inches outside diameter.

The new valves may be used on cold-drawn 1/8-inch hard (unannealed) 316 stainless steel tubing, or thick-walled (annealed) instrumentation-grade 316 tubing. The fittings also feature nuts coated with molybdenum disulphide, which provides a long-lasting lubricant to help prevent thread galling, and reduces the torque required to create the seal - easing both assembly and the remaking of joints.
