New line of resilient seated butterfly valves
The new line of ST Series resilient seated butterfly valves offers high flow coefficients, ISO top mounting, one-piece body with self-centering disk, and a selection of direct mount actuators and gear operators.
Valves are also available as a manual type with limit switches for those uses that do not require automation but do require feedback to a PLC or network bus system.
Valves are available in sizes 2 through 12 in. with a pressure rating up to 225 psi and 14 through 24 in. have a pressure rating up to 160 psi.
The ST Series features a one-piece, ductile iron body. The fusion bonded epoxy body coating offers superior exterior corrosion resistance, the firm says. Also, since no gasket is required for mounting between flanges, additional gaskets or O-rings are not needed for installation. Valves are available with either Buna-N or EPDM seat. A 316 stainless steel disk is standard. Bronze and ductile iron disks are also available. The spherically machined and hand polished disk edge provides a bubbletight shutoff at minimum torque and improves overall endurance by extending the seat life, the company notes.

Two new heavy duty wrench lines
Two new lines of engineers’ wrenches and leverage wrenches and an expanded lineup of striking wrenches are available to the industry.
Open-end engineers’ wrenches include 15° head sets that allow quick repositioning of the wrench on the fastener. Their lengths-up to 23-13/16 in. long-provide high leverage and extend users’ reach into hard to access locations. They come in 13 metric sizes with a black oxide finish.
Leverage wrenches range in length from 2 to 14 in. and are designed for use with detachable handles up to 33 in. long. They come in 11 metric sizes with 4 interchangeable handles.
The firm has added 5 sizes to its line of straight striking wrenches and 15 to its offset line.

New process pressure gauge
The new 1200 series (ASME grade 2A) pressure gauges each provide the capabilities necessary to monitor pressures in nearly every type of process.
In basic applications, the Type 1259 is suited for years of dependable service, the company says. In more rigorous installations, the Type 1279 Duragauge pressure gauge is designed for use in the presence of harsh pressure media, fire hazard, or extreme cycle volumes. Add pulsation and vibration, and the Type 1279 Duragauge PLUS! pressure gauge offers patented technology to dampen pointer flutter without the need for liquid fill.
