Type 8840 Product description producT descripTion Versions Depending on the requirement and preferred type of automation, Structure and description different actuators (ELEMENT, CLASSIC, INOX) can be selected. The following orifices are available: The valve cluster is suitable for controlling liquid and gaseous media and can be used to distribute, collect, mix or supply • DN10 (screwed down and sealed with a graphite seal), media. • DN20 and DN25 (welded). The valve cluster, based on a modular valve body, allows different configurations. The individual parts are joined hermetically tight The orifice 10 is described in separate operating and in a very compact way.
