The Dixon MBV Series is designed for applications where space is critical but quality cannot be sacrificed. Unlike standard brass valves, this series features a Nickel-Plated Brass finish. This coating not only provides a bright, clean chrome appearance (ideal for visible dashboards and medical/food equipment) but also adds an extra layer of protection against environmental corrosion. Despite its small size, it is a robust valve capable of handling 450 PSI. Its "butterfly" or "wedge" handle allows for quick 1/4 turn operation without taking up lateral space, perfect for installation in valve banks or compact manifolds.
Key Technical Features:
-
Nickel-Plated Body: Superior protection against tarnishing and oxidation compared to bare brass.
-
Certified Safety: Approved by the American Gas Association (AGA) and Canadian (CGA), ensuring safe use in gas pilots and burners.
-
Quality Materials: PTFE (Teflon) seats for smooth closing and Nitrile stem seal for durability.
-
Blowout-Proof Stem: Operational safety that prevents stem expulsion due to overpressure.
-
Thermal Resistance: Withstands up to 330°F (165°C).
