Spence Announces New Series "K" Pneumatic Control Valve

Spence Engineering Company, Inc. of Walden, New York introduces the new Series "K" Pneumatic Control Valve, the economical choice for commercial, HVAC and light industrial applications. The Series "K" meets ANSI B16.15 Class 250 and is the only control valve in its class to offer class IV shut off against the full rated pressure of the valve, in most cases without the added expense of positioners.

The Series "K" provides precise control through its newly designed 36 or 60 square inch actuator/yoke assembly. These new actuators are epoxy coated with all stainless seel hardware and internals which provide exceptional corrosion resistance and extended life. NEMUR standard mounts allow easy accessory mounting and simplify installation.

The Series "K" also features Spence Engineering's proven spring-loaded packing assembly that lowers maintenance costs while increasing performance by minimizing deadband.

The Series "K" is available in bronze from sizes 1/2" to 2" with union style connections for easy installation and simple maintenance.

Spence Engineering Company, Inc. is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of pressure and temperature control valves, steam traps, pneumatic control valves and safety and relief valves. Spence Engineering is a division of Circor International, a NYSE company.
