Description
The EG35 gauge valve, with a female or male inlet, female or male outlet and integral vent valve, meets the application requirement for a block and bleed valve without the need for a close nipple when connecting to a female port on a gauge pressure transmitter.
The male outlet configuration provides one less threaded connection and therefore one less potential leak point.
Other manufacturers generally supply 1/2" NPT female instrument connections on gauge valve installations.
This usually requires the installation of a 1/2" stainless steel close nipple with each gauge or pressure transmitter.
