Whitey B-0VM2 Brass Metering Valve - 1/8" Tube

The Whitey B-0VM2 is a compact, precision metering valve from Swagelok's Whitey line, designed for low-flow control in gas and liquid applications. Constructed from durable brass, it features a vernier micrometer handle for fine, repeatable adjustments, enabling precise regulation of flow rates down to very low levels. This valve is ideal for laboratory instrumentation, analytical systems, process sampling, and environments requiring accurate metering, such as chromatography or calibration setups. Key features include an angle pattern body for easy installation, low internal volume to minimize contamination, and reliable shutoff with minimal leakage. Advantages over similar products include superior flow repeatability and a robust design that withstands moderate pressures, though brass construction may limit use in highly corrosive or high-temperature scenarios compared to stainless steel alternatives. Potential drawbacks are its sensitivity to over-torquing and the need for periodic maintenance in dirty fluids. While sometimes used in overpressure relief systems for fine control, it is not a dedicated relief valve but excels in metering tasks. Overall, it offers excellent value for precision applications, with easy integration via 1/8" connections.
