MILWAUKEE VALVE 7913 - WN-830 Sleeve, Size 10 Inch, Black Neoprene, Food Grade

Milwaukee 7913-WN-830 sleeve is designed for preventing contamination and is resistant to most chemicals, preventing damage to valve components. It also stops the flow of material when the valve is tightened, thereby preventing leakage.

Features:

• It is made from black neoprene to provide excellent compressive strength and is compatible with moderate acids, oils, fats, greases & solvents.
• The flexible elastomer makes the sleeve suitable for food and beverage applications.
• The sleeve is capable of handling temperatures ranging from 0 to 180 degrees F.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the function of a butterfly valve?

A. A butterfly valve isolates or regulates the flow of a liquid. By rotating an actuator, the disc (positioned in the centre of the pipe) opens the orifice to allow unrestricted passage of the fluid and prevent backflow when the valve shuts down.

Q. What is meant by cavitation?

A. Cavitation takes place when bubbles or voids form within the fluid because the static pressure quickly drops below the vapour pressure. This leads to the generation of small shockwaves that may damage the parts of pumps. The inner sleeve of a valve consists of a series of nozzles that are sized and arranged to protect the valve in the case of cavitation issues, frequently encountered during throttling applications.

Q. Is this sleeve available in other materials?

A. The sleeve is also available in EPDM, white neoprene, Buna-N (Nitrile) and Teflon variants.
