About this item
Hamilton Company offers the most comprehensive selection of standard and custom syringes, valves and accessories in the industry
Each is manufactured to achieve the highest level of accuracy and precision possible. Hamilton (HV) Plug Valves provide an economical and flexible method of custom-building a fluid flow control system, from a simple on/off valve to a more complex multi-valve arrangement, using a combination of loop and distribution valves. The small valve body with its chemically inert flow path is ideally suited for low pressure applications. All HV Plug Valves allow you to select and interchange a wide variety of fittings, adapters and tubing, including male and female luers, FEP tubing assemblies, and adapters which thread directly into the valve providing an endless variety of valve configurations for any flow application. Hamilton (HV) fittings and adapters are installed finger-tight (10 ounce inches) and provide a leak-tight seal tested to 100 psig.
The HV valve is physically the smallest valve and constitutes a basic unit for the control of fluids. It is ideal for low pressure applications; from a basic on/off flow to a four-way distribution system. They have a threaded path of 1/4-28. Their operator pressure is 0 to 100 psig (0 to 6.9 bar), and their fluid path is PTFE/CTFE. The HVP valve is essentially the same as the HV valve except the HVP can be mounted into panels allowing for custom installation into control panels or instruments.
HVX valves are physically the largest valves. A larger port internal diameter allows increased fluid flows even with moderately viscous fluids. HVX valves can be used free standing or panel-mounted using an optional locking nut. 6- and 8-port distribution and loop valves are available only in the HVX body style.
Instrument configurations include HV - Hamilton Valve, Small Body; HVP - Hamilton Valve, Panel Mount, Small Body; HVX - Hamilton Valve Standard or Panel Mount, Large Body;
Flow valves are used to direct or redirect fluids. 2-, 3-, and 4 -port valves are available with straight through (180°), 90°, or "T" type plugs for seven different valves. All seven flow configurations are available as HV, HVP and HVX valves. The flow configuration drawings show the possible fluid flow paths for a three port flow valve with a "T" type plug. Loop valves are used to direct and redirect fluids. 4-, 6-, or 8- port valves are available with a loop type valve plug. The 4- port valve is available in HV, HVP and HVX body styles. The 6- and 8-port valves are only available in the HVX body style. The flow configuration drawings show the possible fluid flow paths for a 4-port valve with a loop type plug. Distribution valves are used to direct fluid to a number of locations. 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-port valves are available with a distribution type valve plug. The 2-, 3-, and 4-port distribution valves are available in HV, HVP and HVX body styles. The 6- and 8-port valves are available only in the HVX body style. The flow configuration drawings show the possible fluid flow paths for a 4-port valve with a distribution type plug.
