Back-pressure regulator serves thermoplastic pipe
The Frank Series V86 back-pressure regulator (photo) is the latest addition to this company’s Chem Proline Advanced PE piping system. Made from an advanced polyethylene resin, these pressure regulators have the same chemical resistance and stress-crack resistance as the Proline pipe and molded fittings, making them suitable for use in water treatment and chemical process applications handling a variety of chemicals, including sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda and low-concentration acids. The V86 inline regulator is available in both inline and angled configurations, with either butt/IR or socket connections. — Asahi/America, Lawrence, Mass.
