PBM PV-CL455-0052 1/2" Automatic Flush Bottom Valve with 2" Tubing Assembly

The PBM PV-CL455-0052 is a high-performance automatic flush bottom valve designed for sanitary and industrial applications, particularly in pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and chemical processing industries. This assembly includes a 1/2" valve mounted on 2" stainless steel tubing, featuring pneumatic actuation for reliable automated operation. Key benefits include its flush design that minimizes dead space and prevents product buildup, ensuring hygienic performance and easy cleaning. The valve offers excellent flow control with a maximum pressure rating of 150 PSI, constructed from durable 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and longevity. Advantages over similar products include PBM's True-Bore technology for full port flow, reducing pressure drop and improving efficiency, as well as integrated visual indicators like the top-mounted beacon for status monitoring. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost compared to manual valves and the need for compressed air supply for actuation. This model is ideal for tank bottom draining, sampling, or flushing in clean-in-place (CIP) systems, providing precise control and compliance with sanitary standards like 3A and FDA. The unit appears new based on images, with no visible wear, and includes features like a position indicator and manual override.
