Valves & Actuation
![Plast-O-Matic RVT Series: Automatic - CPVC \ EPDM](/sites/default/files/styles/list/public/images/product/35ebe050cba4683d4511d69adb2c/RVD-RVT.jpg?itok=kjPw5WwG)
Series RVT is an angle pattern design featuring a non-sticking Teflon® shaft passing through three U-cup seals. Venting between the upper and center U-cups results in Plast-O-Matic’s patented Fail-Dry® design for added protection. In the meantime the third seal continues to protect the control spring. The RVT design starts with 1/2" pipe size and runs through 2". Set pressures from 5 to 100 PSI. Once the relief valve is set, the valve will remain closed as long as the tank or line pressure does not reach the set pressure. The valve will begin to relieve when the set pressure is reached and will require an overpressure of approximately 40% to fully open. When the pressure falls below the set pressure, the valve will again close. Series RVT relief valves are constructed of Type 1, Grade 1 PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, Teflon® or PVDF with solid Teflon® shaft. U-cup seals are EPDM or Viton®. The adjusting bolt, lock nut, control spring and fasteners are cadmium-plated steel. Stainless steel is available as an option.

![Spears Clear PVC Y-Pattern Valve: Manually Actuated - PVC \ EPDM](/sites/default/files/styles/list/public/images/product/1dfaa86b509258710facaa9a9926/Y-Pattern%20Gate%20Valve.jpg?itok=UesSMaWi)
The Y-Pattern valve is a closing-down, globe type valve design that provides proportional opening to seating disk travel. As such, Y-pattern valves are ideally suited for flow regulating applications. The Y-pattern configuration reduces pressure loss over that of a standard globe valve. Available in IPS sizes 1/2” - 4” with socket, SR thread, flanged or socket union ends.
• Multiple turn, open and close ensures fine adjustment • Good throttling and control characteristics • Standard O-ring seal seating disk and seals • IPS connections - 1/2" through 4" sizes • EPDM or FKM seals available

This heavy-bodied, quarter-turn shut-off valve is popular where maintenance-free installations are desired for a variety of chemical, industrial and OEM applications. Factory adjusted sealed units are available in IPS sizes 1/2" through 6", with choice of either socket or threaded end connectors. Spears PTFE floating seat design reduces seat wear for extended valve life, smooth operation, bubble-tight shutoff. 100% factory tested. Safe-T-Shear® Stem to help prevent leaks out in the event of stem damage. 235 psi @ 73°F (for complete size range).
