The 2-Cx provides a lined valve for superior chemical resistance. It features a live-loaded, self-adjusting sealing system with certified packing and its seat energizer extends completely around the seat for zero leakage.

The 3-Cx resilient seated butterfly valve features a molded-in seat design for durability and reliability. The precision profiled disc sealing edge extends the valve life by reducing seat wear. With its upper and lower stem bearings the 3-Cx operating torque is reduced and reliability increased.

The 4-Cx double offset valve is designed to deliver quality, value and reliability in the most demanding applications. The double offset geometry reduces seat wear and extends valve service life. It features an adjustable live-loaded stem sealing system with certified packing and the extended next also allows for simplified pipe insulation.

The Tri Lok®-Cx triple offset valve is designed for zero leakage, high reliability and easy maintenance. It features an adjustable live-loaded stem sealing with certified packing and the extended next allows for simplified pipe insulation. A key element are the field replaceable sealing components and the splined stem connection offers maximum strength and minimizes hysteresis. The Tri-Lok®-Cx is suitable for critical service applications.

The Kugelhahn Müller KM20/21 flanged ball valves are designed for maximum safety and durability. It features an adjustable live-loaded PTFE stem sealing or O-Ring sealing system with certified packing. With its replaceable components these ball valves are easy to maintain and fully repairable. Various configuration options are available, such as Fire-Safe, High-Temperature or Heat-Jacketed.

The new products will all have Bray DIGI-ID™ digital asset tags providing digital access to standardized product data via a QR Code in accordance with IEC 61406 (DIN 91406). All Cx Line products are offered with this tag providing technical information such as: product data sheets, technical manuals, installation operations and maintenance manuals (IOMs) & declaration of conformity.

  • Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated

    While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
