2-WAY STRAIGHT LEG WYE LINE DIVERTER:

Vortex Model No. DRX-2CS-SL-MG-PET, X"  Quantum Series Wye Line Diverter Valve.  Aluminum valve body with live loaded, wear compensating seals with a 304 stainless steel blade.  Inlet and outlet weldments are constructed from carbon steel.  Material contact is carbon steel, 304 stainless steel and polymer.

• Double acting air cylinder actuator

• (PET) - Valve is rated for 180˚F(82˚C) maximum continuous service.  PET pressure plates are backed with a foam void filler and live loaded natural rubber load seals.

• (SL) - Inlet has a straight through conveying line design for easier "in line" installation of multiple diverters.  The STRAIGHT WYE LINE DIVERTER is recommended when conveying primarily through one line, or when handling abrasive material.   Inlet and Outlet has tube stubs for compression coupling connection.

• (MG) - Air cylinder is equipped with a magno-piston for use with magnetic reed position indication switches.
