life. The pipe sealing system prevents blowouts of the stem and reduces gland leakage. The manifold valves are available in a variety of materials, depending on the application, including carbon steel, stainless steel, Hastelloy ‘C’, Monel, Inconel and titanium. Brennan Industries provides critical flow components, offering more than 30,000 standard and special hydraulic fittings and adapters in sizes ranging from 1 / 8 " to 2 1 / 2 ". Most products are available in carbon steel, stainless steel and brass, and meet or exceed JIC, SAE and other specifications. The company’s mobile app provides easy access to the product catalogue, with a product cross-reference tool and a pressure ratings search. The Brennan website features an online parts catalogue, configurator and a free CAD download solution. The company’s products are stocked at eight strategically located, full-service distribution centres. Val-Matic American-BFV butterfly valves are available in 150B and 250B AWWA classes, with flanged end connections in sizes 3" to 144", and mechanical joint end connections in 4" to 48". Wafer- style butterfly valves are designed with ANSI 125 flanges or ISO PN10 and PN16 flanges in sizes 4" to 24". The valves fully comply with AWWA C504 and C516, certified NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water and NSF/ANSI 372 Certified Lead-Free.

Val-Matic’s American-BFV ® butterfly valves are engineered to provide long life and trouble-free performance. Available in a wide range of pressure classes, the American-BFV is used in municipal, industrial and power applications. Continuous uninterrupted seating and the Tri-Lok™ seat retention system ensure seat integrity and allow for field adjustment/replacement without the need for special tools or epoxies. A ductile iron disc available in all sizes adds strength, allowing the disc to have a smaller cross section, providing improved head loss characteristics.

Manifold instrumentation valves Brennan Industries, an international supplier of hydraulic fittings and adapters, has expanded its line of instrumentation valves by introducing manifold valves. Brennan manifolds are available in four different designs: separately mounted manifolds, direct mounting ‘T’ typemani- folds, direct mounting ‘H’ typemanifolds, and co-planar manifolds.

Each of the valves is designed with a pressure sealing system that offers a number of advantages. The stem threads are rolled to reduce friction and coated with silver Teflon mixture for smooth operation. The stem plug has a swivelling design, and is hardened to provide for wear and long

The new Brennan manifold valves will be offered in three valve configurations: two-valve manifolds, used in pressure instruments; three-valve manifolds, used in differential pressure instruments; and five-valve manifolds, normally used with differential pressure instruments where drain valves are required on the instrument side.
