Operate a Valve from a Distance

ValveFlex Standard allows a manual valve to be operated from a separate handwheel position through a flexible mechanical drive. Standard systems are selected for lower-torque duties and routes up to 8 metres.

Operate Valves in Restricted Locations

The operating handwheel can be positioned away from a valve that is difficult to reach. The complete access and safety arrangement must be assessed for the installation.

Route Through Walls and Floors

The flexible drive can follow a suitable route through walls, floors or equipment where direct access to the valve is restricted.

Operate Submerged Valves

ValveFlex can be considered for remote manual operation of a submerged valve, subject to review of the route, materials, coupling and operating conditions.

To select the correct Standard ValveFlex System Solution you will need to know:

Use the valve torque and routed length to select the appropriate handwheel size from the graph.

Select the appropriate valve coupling for the valve type.

Example: a gate valve with a 40 Nm opening torque and a 6-metre routed length requires a 400 mm handwheel.

Choice of Handwheel up to 600mm
Both ends of the flexible shaft have a bulkhead connection to enable it to be secured. Fixing Brackets can be supplied by Fairport.
Highly durable rubber outer casing
Bi-directional flexible shaft
Stainless Steel fittings on the Inner Core and Outer Casing for greater longevity in difficult conditions.
