Flomatic announces its new Model 5400 Flo-E-Centric® Plug Valve models which are energy-efficient round-port E-Centric plug valves designed in compliance with AWWA C517-16.
The body, bonnet, and plug (NBR encapsulated) are constructed of ASTM A536 grade 65-45-12 ductile iron. The body and bonnet are fusion bonded epoxy coated (NSF 61 powder) inside and outside standard. The valve is pressure rated to 200 PSI with ANSI class 150# Flanges (MJ Model 54-3 is rated to 150 PSI). The valve stem is equipped with V-type packing that is self-adjusting and replaceable while the valve is under pressure. In addition, all fasteners and washers are constructed from stainless steel material.
Flomatic® plug valves incorporate a nickel welded seat for long service life and are designed primarily for applications where slurries, solids, or grit are present. They are designed for both on-off function and process control in industrial and municipal applications.
