Stainless steel control valves

The first type of stainless steel valve available from API is our range of control valves. API’s stainless steel solenoid and pneumatic control valves are part of the AX1 valve series. This particular series of valve is manufactured according to 2014/34/EU to be used specifically for explosive environments.

The AX1 range includes:

• AX1 In line interface, both pneumatically and electrically operated
• AX1 Namur interface, electrically operated

The extensive range of AX1 In Line and Namur interface, electrically operated valves also include:

• AX1 Non-sparking coil Ex nA
• AX1 Intrinsic safety Ex ia
• AX1 Encapsulated coil Ex dm
• AX1 Flameprof coil Ex db
• AX1 Encapsulated coil Ex mb

The Namur valve option takes away the need for extra fittings, as it is directly mounted onto the actuator. All of our API stainless steel control valves are designed for use with compressed filtered air with or without lubrication. Because we are expert stainless steel valve manufacturers, API Pneumatic UK is able to recommend the most suitable, specialised stainless steel control valve for your applications.

Stainless steel ancillary valves

Whether you are looking for ball valves, uni-directional valves or quick exhaust valves, we have the right type of stainless steel ancillary valve for your application. API’s ancillary valves are specifically designed for use in the alimentary and chemical fields.

316 Stainless Steel Spool Valves

Full bore ball valves

Our manually operated stainless steel ball valves are full bore and are designed with a long lever. Our API ball stainless steel ball valves are manufactured for use with compressed air, water, steam, inert gases and fluids.

Uni-directional ball valves

API’s series of stainless steel ball valves extends to uni-directional ball valves. The in-line mounting allows air to flow in one direction only. Perfect for applications where no return of the compressed air to the supply is admitted.

Miniature ball valves

Another form of stainless steel ball valve available from API Pneumatic UK is our miniature ball valves. They are manually operated and allow air to flow in both directions as they work to open or close the flow.

Quick exhaust valves

The purpose of this series of stainless steel quick exhaust valves is they increase the speed of a cylinder and are mounted directly onto the port of the cylinder to achieve this.

Stainless steel spool valves

Manufacturing 316 stainless steel spool valves is one of our top specialisms as we aim to grow our stainless steel product range. We believe that 316 stainless steel spool valves are vital in combination with cylinders to provide a complete stainless steel solution that doesn’t corrode.
