Axial Valves

Designed with a view to overcoming the limitations of traditional actuators, the Legris axial valve offers the functions of a valve fitted with an actuator.  A pneumatic automation device is fitted directly into the valve.

Its operation is not affected by the up/downstream pressure of the transported fluids, which guarantees the user total safety and a vastly simplified choice.  This innovative concept is a logical extension of the Legris hand actuated ball valve range.

The range consists of the following models to suit different applications:

  • normally closed axial valves
  • normally open axial valves
  • double acting axial valves
  • all are available with EPDM or FKM seals

Technical Specification

Fluid

All fluids compatible with:

  • FKM : water, air, oils, greases...
  • EPDM : hot water, air, steam...

Working Pressure

16 bar

Max Temperatures

FKM Seals: +135°C

EPDM Seals: +120°C

Min Temperatures

-20°C

Vacuum Capability

740mm Hg (97.4% vacuum)

Pilot Fluid

Filtered compressed air

Pilot Pressure

NC & NO : 4.2 to 8 bar

Double Acting : 3 to 8 bar

Compatitbility

  • the axial valve is extremely compact and needs up to 50% less space than an actuated valve
  • no external moving parts

High Performance

  • full flow
  • compatible with numerous industrial fluids
  • operates independently of the up/downstream pressures of the fluids transprted

Costs Less than an Actuated Valve

  • a single unit which controls the following two functions at the same time: a) opening/closing of circuit  b) actuation of this function
  • reduced air consumption

Straightforward Reliable Installation

  • ready to fit and does away with the valve + connector + actuator fitting time
  • easy to assemble, in any position
  • designed for use with Legris LF 3000 instant fittings when piping up
