SF valve

Flow-through flowpath –
SF configuration

Multiposition valves – low pressure
MW type

SF valves are similar to SDs and SCs, selecting a stream and sending it to the outlet. However, SFs allow the non-selected streams to flow through individual outlets instead of a common outlet. See application suggestion.

Actuation

Valves can be automated with pneumatic or electric actuators. Manual actuation is not recommended. Read more about actuators.


Standoffs

Multiposition GC valves usually require a standoff - an extension between the valve and actuator which allows the valve to be mounted in the heated zone while the actuator or handle remains outside at ambient temperature. Standoffs are available in lengths of 2", 3" 4", and 6".
