L-Series Sample Valve

For Low or Non-Pressurized Applications

The L Series can be used for low or no pressure, high viscosity oil sampling (splash lubricated equipment and reservoirs). Samples can be taken on operating equipment up to 7x faster than when using the L-Series valve. Sample valves allow you to reduce the time needed to extract a sample, while gaining a more representative sample and avoiding external contamination for more accurate oil analysis trending.

Applications

  • Gearboxes
  • Oil Reservoirs
L-Series Sample Valve

Features

  • High Flow design for easier, faster sampling of cold or heavy oils (i.e. Gear oils up to VG1500).
  • Thread-on Sample Probe connects to common industry sample tubing and pump.
  • Pitot Tube can be cut and bent in order to draw oil from the target, active oil zone.
  • Rugged metal cap with backup seal.
  • Valve has corrosion resistant zinc-nickel plating and stainless steel pitot tube.
  • Extra compact valve.
  • Flush face is easy to clean and helps to avoid contamination.

Specifications

  • Sampling Pressure: 0-125 psi (0 – 0.86 MPa)
  • Working Pressure: 1,000 psi (6.89 MPa)
  • Seal Material Temperature Range: Viton -26C – 204C (-15F – 400F)
  • Valve Material: Carbon steel with corrosion resistant zinc-nickel
  • plating.
  • Stainless Steel Pitot Tube

Standard Sample Probe

Compatible probe (CHK-SLF4) is required for valve operation.
