Vacuum valves: Edwards (formely known as BOC Edwards) vacuum valves

Edwards FCV10K Extra Fine Control Needle Valve

This needle valve is suitable for accurately controlled gas admission in the range
10^-3 to 10^-6mbar/2x10^-3 – 8x10^-7 Torr. It is fitted with a 20 turn 'counting dial' control knob to allow repeatable flow rates to be set when required. Linear actuation of the needle within the orifice results in a high degree of control with prolonged needle and orifice life. The FCV10K is suitable for pipeline or panel mounting.

We recommend the use of an in-line filter on the inlet side of the valve to prevent damage to the valve by dust or grit.
