Kenmac series double block-and-bleed valves provide a smooth transition from process to instrumentation systems in a single, configurable and compact valve assembly.

Kenmac series double block-and-bleed valves provide a smooth transition from process to instrumentation systems in a single, configurable and compact valve assembly.

Each one-piece forged body incorporates a primary isolation valve and a variety of secondary block-and-bleed valves to replace conventional multiple valve installations.

Benefits, compared with conventional systems, include fewer leak points, reduced size and weight and flexibility to configure the product using different sized ball and needle valves and flanges.

Swagelok's new block-and-bleed valves offer an efficient process to instrumentation interface, primarily for use in the chemical, petrochemical and oil and gas industries to measure pressure, flow and temperature.

Available in sizes from 0.5 to 2in, flanged connections are manufactured according to ASME 16.5 RF and RTJ.

The valve is rated to temperatures from -46 to +204C; pressure ratings are in accordance with ASME B16.34, 150 to 2500 lb class.
