The Red Valve Series 5400 Control Pinch Valve is a

bi-directional valve designed for tough slurry appli-

cations. The elastomer sleeve closes on centerline,

creating a smooth venturi which reduces wear. The

flexing action of the sleeve breaks up any sediment

or build-up in the valve, which makes the Series

5400 a reliable, low maintenance control valve.

A variety of elastomers are available to suit your

specific needs. Along with the standard Red Valve

sleeve, we offer Cone, Variable Orifice, Reduced Port,

and Double Wall sleeves for special applications.

• Simple design

• No packing to maintain, ever

• Cost effective

• No cavities or dead spots to bind

valve operation

• Low maintenance
