Copes-Vulcan General Service Control Valves

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The GS-General Service Valves from Copes-Vulcan are control valves designed for exceptional performance and value. Representing significant improvements in design and performance for general service globe style control valves, the GS-General Service Valves combine advanced body configuration, trims, and actuation to deliver premium performance at a competitive price. These valves are ideally suited for controlling the non-severe flow of most liquids, steam, and gasses. They provide reliable and economic performance for various applications like heater drains, gas and fuel oil control, feedwater control, steam/gas pressure reduction, and other power and process flow control operations. Suitable for a wide range of fluids like water, steam, gas, and more, General Service Valves establish a new standard for versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness.   

Copes-Vulcan's GS-General Service Valves feature straight-through globe style bodies with streamlined precision cast bodies to minimize flow restriction and maximize capacity. Computer-calculated cross-sections and wall thicknesses ensure high structural integrity while maintaining a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. These valves are available in sizes from 0.75-8 inches (20-200 mm) and ANSI pressure classes 150-600. They can accommodate most standard castable materials and offer flanged, welded, or threaded end connections. An extensive selection of standardized trims, like the Raven, HUSH, Tandem, and GAD high-performance trims, meet nearly any general service requirement. The quick-change trims simplify maintenance and are fully interchangeable between similar sizes for maximum flexibility and minimal inventory. A complete range of 700 series pneumatic diaphragm actuators is also available for these valves.
