Soft Seat Needle Valve - BuTech

  • Traditional metal-to-metal needle valves often struggle to maintain a reliable seal, especially in demanding gas applications.
  • The BuTech Soft Seat Needle Valve is engineered to overcome these limitations by combining proven needle valve technology with chevron packing and a soft seat ensuring a secure, leak-tight closure and reliable performance across a wide range of industrial gases.
  • Engineered for precision and reliability, the BuTech Soft Seat Needle Valve is the ideal solution for medium-pressure gas applications where leak-tight sealing is critical.
  • Unlike traditional metal-to-metal seated valves, this advanced design features chevron packing and a soft seat, ensuring a secure seal even under demanding conditions.
  • Engineered for high-performance containment, this valve helps maintain system integrity by preventing media escape upstream and minimizing pressure loss downstream. 
  • Rigorously tested to ISO-19880-3 standards with nitrogen and helium for up to 102,000 pressure cycles, this valve delivers durability and reliability in even the most demanding environments.
  • Perfect for use in hydrogen refueling stations, compression systems, and general gas shut-off applications, this valve delivers consistent performance across a wide range of gases including hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, and argon.
