Pinch valve
50 - 125 psig ( 3.4 - 8.6 bar) | A series SWAGELOK

Swagelok pinch valves offer positive control of fluids in sterile pharmaceutical and biotechnical applications. Red silicone and EPDM pinch tube elements comply with 21 CFR Part 177.2600.

Straight-through flow:
reduces cell shear
eases draining and cleaning
provides high Cv, uniform flow.
Boreline seals virtually eliminate entrapment areas.
Spring-loaded stem controls closing force, enhancing pinch tube element service life.
Valve offers excellent drainability when properly oriented.
Compact, three-piece construction allows space-efficient system layout.
Lightweight (1.75 lb [0.79 kg]), high-strength PEEK body provides low thermal conductivity and resists corrosion.
Valve offers secondary packing/body seal with telltale leakage detection port.
Manual and pneumatic actuation available.
Testing Every Swagelok pinch valve is factory tested with nitrogen at its maximum pressure rating to a maximum leak rate of 0.04 std cm3/min at the seat and shell. Body seals are tested with helium at 10 psig (0.68 bar) to a maximum leak rate of 1 × 10-5 std cm3/s.
