Noncontact Flow-Adjustment Valves
- Valve Type: Pinch
- For Use With: Water, Oil, Air, Deionized Water, Diesel Fuel, Ethylene Glycol, Fuel Oil, Isopropyl Alcohol, Kerosene, Methanol, Mineral Spirits, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hypochlorite
Also known as pinch valves, these press down on the outside of tubing to adjust flow without contacting the process media. They can be used with any media that’s chemically compatible with your tubing.
Nickel-plated brass valves are more corrosion resistant than zinc or zinc-plated steel valves.
Valves with an open body provide easy access to tubing for maintenance or replacement.
Valves with a closed body securely hold tubing in place.

Tap Valves
- Valve Type: Saddle
- For Use With: Air, Water
- For Tube Material: Copper
Also known as saddle valves, these self-piercing valves tap existing copper tubing lines so you can install a secondary water supply line to humidifiers, ice makers, and other equipment. Clamp the valve into position and turn the handle to pierce a 1/4" hole in the tubing. Do not use with pipe. The outlet connection is a 1/4" compression tube fitting.
