The QED Precision Fine Tube Control Valve is a metered rising stem, angle globe valve. The Valve has been designed to allow fine tuning of the gas flow from landfill gas collection wells, especially at very low gas flow rates. The rising stem valve exposes more of the metered scale as it is opened, allowing the customer to see and record, numerically, exactly how far open the valve is.
Installation
The valve will work in any orientation, regardless of which pipe port is
connected to the intake gas.
Operation
Turn the valve handle counterclockwise to open. As the valve is opened, the
yellow metered label will expose, indicating the relative position of the
valve. The chart below shows the approximate gas flow rate (at 40 in. water
column vacuum) that can be expected for a given number of turns of the valve
from the closed position.
Specifications
- Recommended Pressure: 5 psi.
- Maximum Temperature: 200 °F (93.3 °C)
- Flow at 40 in. wc vacuum: 200 scfm
- Materials: 304 SS, Glass-filled polypropylene, Viton
