Kunkle Bronze Safety Valve Models 189, 189C, 189P, 363, 363C, 363P, 389C, 389P

Certified for air, gas and cryogenic applications, these bronze valves with stainless steel trim are made with a unique three-piece disc assembly which offers superior leak-free performance over pressure/temperature operating range. Used with cryogenic (cold) and liquefied air, liquefied oxygen and liquefied gas services, multi-stage air compressors, multi-stage gas compressors, intercoolers, aftercoolers and receivers, air, gas and liquefied gas lines and systems.

Model Descriptions:
