3 NPT Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac

EXAIR’s 3 NPT Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac is a powerful in-line conveyor that transports high volumes of material through ordinary pipe. Designed for rugged, industrial applications, it is made of a hardened alloy to prevent premature wear when transporting abrasive or heavy materials like garnet, glass, sand, tumbling media and metal fittings. They feature large throat diameters to convey more material over long vertical/horizontal lengths. Utilizing a pressure regulator, conveyance rates can be finely tuned for the application.

NIV Series PEEK Media Isolation Valves

The NIV Series Media Isolation Valve is a solenoid-operated device that uses a flexible diaphragm to isolate the actuation mechanism from the fluid path. Isolation valves are commonly used for a wide variety of applications, including those that require precise, repeatable dispensing of media for analytical instrumentation. Industries and applications that commonly use these valves to isolate gas or liquid include drug dispensing, laboratory equipment, analytical, chemical analysis, sampling and life science/biotech, among others.
