COUPLINGS

Anvil's Made in the USA 74 SlideLOK coupling, part of its Gruvlok brand of couplings and fittings, comes with a patented pressure-responsive EDPM gasket that provides four separate sealing surfaces for added protection. It has a 250° F temperature rating and a maximum working pressure of 750 psi on roll or cut grooved carbon steel standard wall pipe. 74 SlideLOK couplings are ready for installation right out of the box and there's no need for the bolts and gasket to be removed.

IN-LINE CHECK VALVES

Bonomi's new Series S250 in-line check valves feature a cold-formed 316 stainless steel body that gives users the highest Cv at the lowest cost. The metal-forming process allows an improved flow profile inside the valve body to minimize head loss. It also eliminates machining for reduced manufacturing cost. The S250 is electron-beam welded at the end cap-to-body connection, creating a unibody for leak-free service. The low-crakcing .50-PSI spring-loaded FKM (Viton) seat provides high flow capacity, minimal head loss and dependable bubble-tight protection against reverse flow.
