The new Restek® Air Valve Excellence (RAVE™) valve brings proven long life, leak-free performance and effortless operation to air sampling canisters. This design has been engineered to exceed 15,000 cycles, and every valve is leak-tested with helium to 1×10-6mL/sec before it leaves the facility. The W-type valve seats are work-hardened to enhance damage resistance, while the wetted surfaces contain no moving parts. The RAVE™ valve achieves full closure with a quick twist of the fingers and is easy to access, even for big hands or when wearing bulky gloves.
Now standard on Restek’s full line of SilcoCan, TO-Can and miniature air sampling canisters, these newly redesigned, American-made valves are also ideal for upgrading existing canisters. Rugged stainless steel RAVE™ valves can be ordered with Siltek treatment for added inertness and either 2 or 3 ports to accommodate an optional gauge. Diaphragm rebuild kits are also available to further extend the life of these long-lasting air valves.
