KLEP
Weir Type A Diaphragm Valve
The KLEP Weir Type Valve can safely handle a line pressure of up to 1600Kpa (16 Bar) and they are tested to 2500Kpa (25 Bar). All bodies and bonnets are made from high-grade SG42 Cast Iron and are suitable for lining and various rubber, urethane, ceramic, Halar and Fluoropolymers like PTFE and EXTFE.

Features
- 100% drip tight closure even with solids in the medium.
- Fast easy diaphragm change.
- Full bore, low friction loss.
- High flexible diaphragm designed to reduce closing forces & improved full open recovery.
- Housing acts as a built-in indicator.
- Ideal for remote locations.
- Lightweight.
- Long operating life.
- No gland which requires adjustment.
- Pneumatic & Hydraulic options.
- Seals in both directions.
- Single wearing part.
- The enclosed body protects diaphragm from the environment and contaminants in the event of diaphragm failure.
- The valve can be installed in any position.
How the valve operates
As the valve cycles downwards, the compressor will start to compress the soft rubber diaphragm, from the top of the valve only, therefore achieving 100% drip tight closure, even with solids in the medium.
Applications
The valve is suited for mining and mineral processing, power generation, sand/gravel, chemical & soda ash, pulp & paper, environmental & effluent, dry feeds and powders.
Actuators
All types of Actuators can be fitted; Electric, Gearbox, Hydraulic, Pneumatic and Handwheel.
