Houston, TX- based Zahroof Valves Inc. (ZVI), a manufacturer of valves for use in reciprocating gas compressors, recently announced the launch of its newest products: the ZVI Valve Cage-Integral and the ZVI Valve Cage-Removable.
The lighter ZVI Valve Cage assembly offers safer and easier installation and removal compared to conventional valve and cage assemblies, especially for larger discharge valves. It has an increased flow path for gas, due to its larger rounded ports which can be directly fastened to the ZVI valve. Made of stainless steel, similar to the valve body itself, the cage will not corrode under normal conditions.
The ZVI Valve Cage-Integral features a ZVI Straight Flow Valve (SFV) with a cage that does not need to be removed from the valve during servicing of the valve, installation or removal of the valve from the cylinder.
The ZVI Valve Cage – Removable can be used with a ZVI SFV valve or with conventional valves. In the case of an existing SFV valve, it can be directly fastened to the valve, making installation and removal of the valve safer and easier, without the need of special tools.
“The ZVI Integral Valve cage is a revolutionary advancement in safety measures,” says Zahroof Valves CEO Anthony Gioffredi. “It is now safer than ever to replace valves currently in use, dramatically reducing injuries to hands and arms, while reducing service downtime.”
