Product Brief

Large bore size (0.257″) permits cleanout with rod. The full-port, straight-through design reduces pressure drop across valve, decreases turbulence, and improves flow characteristics. Recommended for applications where bubble-tight seat is required, such as gas transmission, metering, and flow recorders. Pressure rating to 6,000 psi. Kerotest/Marsh “N” Series Needle Valves are used in processing plants, oil and gas production, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, testing labs—anywhere the flow of fluid must be carefully regulated.
