A maintenance plate, mounted between valve and sub-base, is used when servicing individual valves in a manifold system, or replacing a cylinder while the system is still operating.

Mounts between valve and sub-base. Used when servicing individual valves in a manifold system, or replacing a cylinder while the rest of the system is still operating. Two positions, can be locked with a cotter pin:
0. Maintenance position, flow is minimal and valve is isolated§;
1. Open position, normal operation - full flow in the system.
§. The low flow in the maintenance position allows slow pressurizing when the valve is returned to service. This low flow also requires the removal of trapped downstream pressure before removing or servicing these same components.

CAUTION: Before service or removal of any components, all trapped pressure must be released. Vertically mounted cylinders, gravity and mechanically loaded actuators must be blocked/disabled to avoid injury or system damage. Install blanking station segment kit if this minimal flow is undesirable when the valve is not present.

 N/A Eliminate Downtime-They Don’t Stick
Normal air valves can stick or jam and cause start-up problems because of their inability to handle accumulations of dir, dust, oil or water in air lines. Not with the Ceram valve. There’s no gap between the plates for dirt and oil to accumulate. The plates are finished so precise that they act like sliding magnets or jo blocks. Solenoid operators of the same voltage on standard valves are interchangeable between all sizes, reducing spare parts inventory and downtime.

They Work Great in Normal Applications Too
Just because they are so popular in harsh environments, don’t think they won’t work great in a more normal application.

Ceram Valves Save Air and Money
The tight shut-off with Ceram valves eliminates costly loss of air that is common in other designs. Compressed air that you pay for.

Extended Life
Years of proven field service verifies an anticipated life of 150 million cycles even under adverse conditions.

Overcomes Design Limitations of Other Valves
Lapped spool valves normally have a small gap between spool and sleeve that is prone to oil and dirt accumulation, resulting in sticking and the waste of air. Packed spool valves using elastomer seals are subject to deterioration and excessive wear when contamination and/or incompatible lubricants are present.
