Flow-Tek Standard Mounting Kit
 
Flow-Tek offers a full line of standard mounting kits to connect Flow-Tek valves and actuators at a very attractive price. Used with our EZ Ordering Code Matrix these mounting kits are very easy to select and assemble. They are in stock in a variety of sizes to mount actuators on valves up to 12”. Most mounting kits contain a 304 Stainless Steel bracket and coupler and Stainless Steel hardware. All couplers are machined to close tolerances. Special kits are also available for mounting non-standard assemblies. Flow-Tek factory mounts these assemblies and bench tests each unit to ensure the customer receives a high quality automated valve package.

Flow-Tek’s Flush Mounting Kits are available on sizes ¼” to 2 ½” and they provide a very attractive method of connecting Flow-Tek valves and actuators. At 1.30” in height, these kits offer a low profile connection between the actuator and valve and reduce the overall space requirements of the assembly. The kits come complete with an investment cast (CF8M) Flush Mount Housing, 304 Stainless Steel coupler and Stainless Steel hardware. In addition to the reduced space requirements, these kits offer some additional advantages over standard mounting kits. They will protect the packing area of the valve during caustic washdowns and the design offers full access to the mounting bolts for fast and easy actuator mounting. These kits can be mounted in any direction and feature a weep hole to eliminate the possibility of an internal buildup of media. The kits also allow the user to field mount different size actuators to a single valve. All couplers are machined to close tolerances. Flow-Tek is offering these low profile kits in addition to our standard mounting kits.

Flow-Tek Pneumatic Positioners & Electro-Pneumatic Positioners
 
Flow-Tek positioners are available in pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, explosion proof and fail freeze design. These durable postitioners are constructed with NEMA 4X cast aluminum housing that is polyester coated for superior corrosion protection. With non-interactive span and zero adjustment, and the external zero adjustment, calibration is simple and time saving. These units provide accuracy, speed of response and repeatability to meet the most demanding industry standards for control. With very few moving parts, and complete modularity of the unit, it can be modified or maintained while mounted on the valve assembly minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency. If necessary the pilot valve assembly can be cleaned by removing a single screw. This flexible design uses a single housing for pneumatic or electro-pneumatic units. Optional features include a modular feedback module to provide accurate position feedback, a gauge package, special cams for various control ranges and a raised indicator.
