An Introduction To Valves

In this modern society, valves are considered very useful components in different processes of manufacturing and systems of supply. If you look around you, values are part of every household. They are responsible for controlling the flow of all types of liquid, as well as the rate, pressure, volume and the direction. Not only that, valves control the direction of different gases, slurries and other dry materials through a pipe or any other type of passageway. Without these valves, there will be no automatic heat, public utilities or fresh water, and there will be no energy of any kind.

There are several types of valves, including EGR valves, solenoid valves and ball valves. These valves can be turned on or off, and can be regulated. They are very effective at modulating or isolating fluids.

EGR valves or exhaust gas recirculation valves serve as the intake and exhaust valves in automobiles that open at the appropriate time in order to let in a mixture of fuel and air and to let out exhaust. Car emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution, and so automotive engineers use these EGR valves in order to reduce emissions.

Solenoid valves, on the other hand, are electromagnetic device that are usually found in automotive starter systems, industrial air hammers and electric bell assemblies. These are also used on several other machines that require power in order to make a specific part move.

Meanwhile, ball valves are valves that integrate a mounted or floating ball design that can be used for control and shut-off purposes. These valves are used on many applications such as allied process industries, chemical processing industries and corrosive and cryogenic services.

Even though these valves are used in different applications, they only have one purpose and that is to become invaluable components in this modern day society.

Hunter PGV series valves have captive bonnet bolts, which together with the solenoid plunger, protect against the loss of parts. Additionally, Hunter PGV series valves offer maximum control to users by way of flow control, globe and angle configurations and Accu-Set pressure regulator compatibility.

However, there is another Hunter PGV series of valves that offers even more advantages to residential clients. The Jar Top Hunter PGV series of valves allows service to a Hunter valve but without requiring any special tools to gain access to the internal structure. This makes product maintenance much easier, but at the same time, does not sacrifice any quality or performance for easy accessibility. Like the original Hunter PGV series of valves the Jar Top Hunter series features valves are made of extra-durable PVC material, which is known to be resistant against corrosion and UV-rays. It is also constructed with a rugged double-beaded diaphragm with support; this allows the unit to be leak-proof and prevent any unforeseen stress failure. Lastly, the Jar Top Hunter PGV series valves are made with encapsulated solenoid that ensures dependability over a long period of times, even when tested day-by-day.

The Hunter PGV series is one of Hunter's best series and a very popular selection with both commercial and residential clients. Hunter is one of the most trusted companies in landscaping and has been since their beginning in 1981. They achieved monumental success with their sprayers early on, but have come to innovate more products in the planting and irrigation market, such as the Hunter PGV series original and Jar Top versions.
