Prospector Series Poppet Valves
Design Features Provide High Reliability.
Norgren Prospector Valves feature a short-stroke, positive-sealing,
cushioned poppet. This rugged, simple design eliminates metal-to-
metal contact, insuring long life and trouble free operation. Shock
absorption by the resilient mass of the poppet seals virtually
eliminates the impact damage common to other designs. Worn or
damaged poppet seals can be turned over, considerably
extending their service life before replacement is necessary. With
these reversible seals, the valve may be said to carry its own
spare parts for quick and economical maintenance.
High Flow
A Cv of 1.2 to 49.5 provides exceptionally high flow, making
Prospector Poppet Valves appropriate for a wide range of
industrial applications.
Valve Accessories
Prospector Poppet Valve accessories include a footguard for foot-
actuated valves, time delays for use with air and solenoid
operators, mufflers, push-in tube fittings, and optional solenoid
operators.
Nitrile Rubber-Based Seals
All Norgren Prospector Valves utilize nitrile O-rings and seals for
superior compatibility, wear, and operation over a wide
temperature range.
Port Identification
Each of the ports is identified by a permanent marking adjacent to
the port on the body or subbase.
Two Mounting Styles
All Prospector Valves are manufactured with
mounting holes and are available as inline
mounted valves. The 4-port/2-position (4-way)
valves are also available in a single subbase
mounted style. Subbase valves are attached
to a single subbase with six socket head cap
screws, providing providing easy removal and
installation.
Durable Finish
External surfaces are protected with an oven
cured, epoxy resin paint which provides
excellent corrosion and chip resistant
protection.
Aesthetic Appearance
Norgren's high luster black gives any control
circuit installation the quality appearance
reflecting the superior operating capability built
into every Prospector Valve.
