Series U290 - ASCO Pressure Operated Mini Valves External Thread

The ASCO Series U290 is a type of pressure-operated valve that is designed for use in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is known for its high flow rates, which are achieved through the use of an angled seat design and an anti-waterhammer design (which helps to reduce the risk of waterhammer, a type of pressure surge caused by the sudden acceleration or deceleration of fluids in a pipeline).

The U290 valve is equipped with external threads that conform to the ISO 228/1 standard, which makes it suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications. It is also capable of operating at vacuum levels up to 10-2 mbar, and it features a piston-type operator that is 32mm in diameter and can be rotated through 360 degrees.

In addition to its high performance and versatility, the ASCO Series U290 is also designed for ease of maintenance, with a high performance, maintenance-free stuffing box. It is compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, article 4.3, and it has been certified with integrity levels of SIL 2 for HFT = 0 in accordance with the IEC 61508 Standard (2010 route 2H version). This means that it meets strict safety and quality requirements and can be used with confidence in a wide range of applications.
