Technical Information General Description eries BV3H and BV4H are true 3-way and 4-way high pressure valves, incorporating many of the advanced features of the 2-way product. These products come in steel and are rated at 414 Bar (6 PI). Ports range from 1/4" to 2" with a variety of porting options. Operation The BV3H eries operates by rotating the handle 9 and BV4H operates through 18 rotation of the handle, depending on the flow path. A BV4H with ball #4 is 9 operation. There is no port-to-port overlap during transition. pecifications Maximum Pressure Body 414 Bar (6 PI) Carbon teel, Black Oxide Ball tandard Pattern pindle tandard Handle teel, Chrome Plated, Trunnion mount L Bore (3W), T Bore (4W) teel, Zinc Plated T- Handle Ball eals Delrin + Mo 2 pindle eals Operating Temperature O-Rings + Bearing tacks -3C to +1 C (-22 F to +212 F) Features Three dimensional balanced sealing for near zero leakage in any circuit. The unique thrust bearing spindle design reduces actuation torque and reduces the chance of the valve seizing when inactive for periods of time. pecial seal design enables high port to port ΔP application suitability.

Locking Handle it Accessories BVHPLH: tandard eries 'BVHPLH-*' kit replaces the stopwasher with a stationary and moving plate, as illustrated below. As the handle is actuated, the moving plate aligns with one of the two locking positions in the stationary plate, enabling the valve to be locked in either fully closed or fully open position.
