Valve+Actuator-Compact Automated Valve by Assured Automation

The VA Series combines a pneumatic actuator and fast on-off control valve into one body, eliminating packing glands, actuators and mounting kits. There are no exposed moving parts, eliminating pinch points and increasing operator safety. Since the actuator is part of the valve, costs are greatly reduced when compared to standard actuated valves. Operating life has been tested to well over 1,000,000 cycles, due to the balanced design which reduces friction and wear. The stroke is linear and parallel to the flow, dramatically reducing the required force to close or open the valve. The internal waterway design was designed for optimum flow characteristics. Assured Automation’s VA Series replaces angle valves and ball valves in many installations due to its reduction in size and competitive cost. It also replaces large solenoid valves where small orifices clog and diaphragms rupture.
