Lightweight and compact, the Swagelok compact gauge valve is designed to provide quick and convenient access for the isolation and venting of pressure gauges. The pressure gauges are positionable with tube adapter ends, eliminating threaded connections and leak points. The smaller, lightweight footprint of the gauge valve reduces the need for supports. Available with either ½ in. or 12 mm Swagelok tube fitting end connections, the Swagelok compact gauge valve is constructed from 316 stainless steel. The valve is rated for temperatures up to 232°C and for pressures up to 275 bar. A permanently assembled purge cap is crimped to the valve body for operator safety and to prevent accidental disassembly.
