| 762 Tank and Kettle Valves |
 | | 762 Kettle valve. | |
Application This air-operated tank outlet valve features the positive action of either a short-stroke or long-stroke actuator. The 762 valve is ideal for high volume, sanitary liquid processing applications. It’s heavy-duty construction and precision-molded bonnet gaskets ensure positive alignment under severe operating conditions. The 762 valve has a sanitary and flexible design allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications. Working principle The valve is remote-controlled by means of compressed air. It has few and simple moveable parts which results in a very reliable valve. Standard Design The 762 series valves are designed to deliver years of reliable performance. Rugged and long-lasting plastic stem bushings eliminate metal-to-metal galling. The stems are threaded to the actuator shaft, eliminating the coupling between the stem and the actuator, thereby ensuring proper alignment. The valve stem design requires only a single o-ring seal. And bushings at each end of the actuator cylinder support stem also ensure perfect alignment. The 762 series features a heavy-duty bonnet and body ferrule design that will stand up to years of (use and) hydraulic shock. Standard 32Ra finish on the ID.

Elbow Kettle Valves are normally-closed, air-to-open — spring-to-close. Note!
Extreme caution should be used when welding ferrules or flanges to kettles to prevent distortion. Dimensions | Tee Type and Cross Body Tangential Outlet Valves |  |  | Valves with Tri-Clamp Inlet

A 6" diameter actuator is supplied with the 4" valve. The 6" diameter actuator is available, as a heavy duty option, for the 2½"-3" valve.
** On a standard actuator it takes 30 psi to offset the spring force when fully extended and 60 psi to fully compress the spring.

Actuator Air Supply Specifications
See chart below for minimum air pressure requirements. Maximum air pressure is 100 psi (normal). Air volume required is identified by the length of the stroke. | Valve Size | Stroke (inch) | Volume (cu. in.) | | | | | | | | | | | | | <>Lubricated air is not required. Filtered air and a pressure regulator valve are required.
Additional Holding Pressure Additional air supply must be relieved when product pressure is not present. Failure to do so will result in pressure damage to the seat. When using additional air loading it should exceed the minimum required by no more that 3 to 5 psig. Example: A customer has an application for a 3" valve that is required to hold 70 psi product pressure with an elastomer (Buna). The valve without an air assist will hold 40 psi. An additional holding force to overcome 30 psi (70 psi-40 psi) is needed. Since the ratio is 5:10 (air-to-product pressure ratio) a 15 psi air assist is needed. Note!
Since it takes 60 psi to fully stroke the valve without air assist, it will take 75 psi to open the example. (60 psi + 15 psi)
