5 WAY DIRECT MOUNT VALVE (TYPE 1)
5 WAY DIRECT MOUNT VALVE
(TYPE 1)
The 5-Way Direct Mount Valve (Type 1) is a compact manifold designed for differential pressure transmitters, offering complete functionality for isolation, equalization, venting, and calibration. This valve allows the operator to control the flow from both the high- and low-pressure sides of the process and safely equalize and vent pressure before performing maintenance or calibration. Used widely in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, power plants, and offshore industries, the 5-way valve simplifies installation and enhances safety and reliability.
