Gate Valve - BGV - Manual ISO100-F, B90000220

BGV ISO-K ISO-F - Gate Valve

Edwards BGV gate valves are bellows sealed stainless steel gate valves for use in applications which require high leak tightness and a minimum of hydrocarbons in the vacuum system. Although principally designed for the isolation of pumps in the semiconductor fab basement, BGV gate valves are also ideal in other applications where a 1 bar differential at opening is desirable. They are designed for use in the pressure range of 1.2 bar absolute to 1 x 10-8 mbar (1.2 x 105 to 1x10‑6 Pa).

BGV gate valves will withstand 1.2 bar absolute in either direction allowing the vacuum line above the pump to be vented with the valve closed. The BGV manual valves have a visual indication of the gate position on the side of the assembly to show when it is open.

Features and Benefits

• Able to withstand 1.2 bar absolute in either direction. Avoids re-start issues by keeping the pump running during maintenance
• Stainless steel construction and robust design. Long service life and reliability in harsh environments
• Pneumatic, solenoid and pre-wired option. Pre‑configured simple ‘plug and play’ installation
• Simple grease-free sealing mechanism. Minimises damage due to particulates in dusty processes
