The GFLO globe control valve offers superior performance in liquid and gaseous services, while permitting easy, fast and inexpensive maintenance. Unlike diaphragm-operated control valves, the spring cylinder-actuated GFLO provides stiffness and maintains high positioning accuracy, repeatability, controlled high speed and faithful response. And since it handles up to 150
psig / 10.3 Barg supply air, it also has the thrust to shut off against much higher fluid pressures.
Most diaphragm actuators rely entirely on springs to close the valve. But the design of the GFLO is such that the spring, the supply air pressure, and the fluid pressure itself combine to produce exceptionally tight shutoff. A self-aligning seat ring further enhances the shutoff capability of the GFLO.
Many common maintenance problems with globe valves can be traced to cage-guiding. The close metal-to-metal contact between the cage and plug often result in galling and sticking. That is why the GFLO is double-top stem guided. It completely avoids contact between the plug and seat retainer.
The clamped-in seat and top entry trim permits easy, quick maintenance. Plus, with GFLO's high degree of parts interchangeability, fewer inventory parts are needed. The actuator is also lighter, smaller and easier to handle than comparable diaphragm actuators.
With MASCOT's customer first approach standard GFLO's can be delivered in 1 to 2 weeks. MASCOT's GFLO... the simple, reliable, tough globe valve.
