Parker Introduces Lead-Free Water Valves for Harsh Applications

New Britain, CT, June 9, 2016 - The Fluid Control Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, announced the release of its Lead-Free Water Valves.

Parker Lead-Free Water Valves are ideally suited for water, hot water and steam applications such as industrial processing, irrigation, sterilization, steam tables, commercial dishwashing or any other non-potable uses. They offer a maximum operating pressure differential of 275 psi (18.96 bar) and flow factors (Cv) up to 12.2.

'Our new Lead-Free Water Valves have been designed and manufactured following extensive research and testing, according to direct feedback from end users,' said Craig Chapman, Divisional Marketing Manager. 'These valves offer a 'Pivoted Edge Design', originally engineered by Parker Fluid Control Division to enhance valve performance, and can be applied across a range of applications to meet the exact needs of our customers.'
