Samson’s ultra-low profile 3241 globe valve allows for quick deliveries from stock because there are common parts between various valve sizes. The valve has a straight-threaded seat design which requires no gaskets, cage or sealants resulting in less spare parts and lower friction. Maintenance free, self adjusting PTFE V-ring packing is standard. Over tightening the packing is not a possibility. Plug stems are roller burnished, which is a mechanical hardening process. The rollers actually push the high part of the peaks down, which raises the valleys up of the stem surface which gives a much harder and smother stem. Burnishing improves the surface finish, surface hardness, wear-resistance, fatigue and corrosion resistance. Integral attachment of digital/analog or pneumatic positioners eliminates tubing and damage to linkages. Actuator, together with positioner, can be rotated a complete 360°. Field reversible, multi-spring diaphragm actuator allows changing of fail action with no extra parts. A multi-spring actuator reduces the height and weight of valve. It is available in cast iron, brass, stainless steel, and forged stainless steel, as well as exotic alloys such as monel, hastelloy, titanium and others. All valve, actuator and positioner fasteners are self-retained stainless steel.
