FEATURES

With the KCD series, KITZ SCT succeeded in reducing the internal volume to 0.97 cm3, versus the 1.2 cm3 (1/4″ CVC male, open position).
While keeping the same design as KD series, it achieved 20% reduction in external size, and the weight is also reduced. (Available only in 1/4″)
The durability performance was not compromised, and achieved 100,000 cycles (actual value) for the manual valve.
The highest level production environment and polish quality makes them suitable for use with high purity gases and achieves ultimate particle performance.

WETTED AREA MATERIAL

SUS316L, SUS316LE (Double melt material)
PCTFE, PFA, PI
Cobalt alloy

PRECAUTIONS

The valves are designed to be used under atmospheric pressure. Usage such as under vacuum vessels are not guaranteed.
For high temperature applications, please select appropriate material for air-fittings and tubes to assure proper performance.
