VUVS valves have high flow rates for their size (up to 2,000 litre/min) with an operating pressure of up to 10bar, ingress protection to IP67. Also available in optional ATEX variants, the range starts at 1/8in ports in a 20mm body.

VUVS valves are also available with a wide range of accessories, including manifold rails and cover plates, which enable them to be mounted in any orientation. For additional flexibility, it is easy to change between internal or external pilot air connection, and the user can have multiple pressure zones on one manifold.

Solenoid coils can be simply swapped for different operating voltages, and the rotatable coil can be adapted to make wiring easier in difficult installation conditions.

VUVS valves are available for next-day delivery, as pre-assembled units with silencers, fittings and coils, or as ready to install individual valves.
