BV Series Hi/Lo Valves with Built-in Regulators

BV Series - Hi/Lo Valves with Built-In Regulators
Designed for use in larger capacity lightweight 4500 PSI cylinders, the BV Series features an integral regulator that reduces gas pressure
on the 3000 PSI max outlet to 700–1000 PSI, enabling field use of a common UL® Rated 3000 PSI regulator.

Key Features & Benefits

• Unique dual outlet design enables use of lower or higher cylinder Working Pressure from the same valve/cylinder package
• Provides quick fill capability — no special filling or withdrawal adapters needed
• Strong, durable forged brass body manufactured by Sherwood to specifications stricter than most commercial forging specifications
• High-temperature aluminum alloy handwheel with large drainage holes
• Integral stainless steel tang helps prevent internal stem breakage
• Durable lower plug made of tough naval brass resists wear
• Lower plug is PTFE coated to add lubricity, which minimizes seizing and galling especially under high-pressure operation
• Internally threaded chamber design promotes longer life and helps protect valve body chamber threads from damage
• Nickel 201 rupture disc resists premature rupture that may be caused by corrosive ambient environments
• Inert PTFE packing provides leak-free stem seal, long cycle life and resistance to corrosion
• Regulator designed for long service life and tested to in excess of 16,000 cycles
• Pressure Relief Device strategically located in regulated pressure outlet prevents cylinder pressure from reaching downstream equipment
• Pressure Relief Device supplied standard for 4500 PSI cylinder with a test pressure of 1.5 times Working Pressure
• Regulated Outlet Pressure Relief Device rupture pressure is 2800–3000 PSI
• High-pressure outlet plug removal tool (Part Number 680PW-2) supplied separately to cylinder filling plants only
