Onyx Automatic Pneumatic Pinch Valve Series GSS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Series GSS pinch valve is designed for maximum economy and clog resistance in controlling abrasive, viscous, and corrosive fluids across various industries. Its simple, compact design features a full round port and slip-on pipe connection, making it easy to install and maintain.

The valve consists of a resilient rubber sleeve inside a lightweight cast aluminum housing. When compressed air is injected into the housing, the sleeve collapses to block flow through the valve. Upon pressure release, the sleeve's elasticity allows the valve to reopen, providing inherently fail-open operation.
