Working safely with reliable fittings

Materials

The fitting bodies are made of pore-free brass. Lead-free and cadmium-free materials are used for all soldering and adhesive bonding.

Before applying a coating thickness of 60-150 microns to the bodies of fittings, their surfaces are blasted in an electro-powder spraying (EPS) process. This special plastic coating is based on an epoxy resin and guarantees high resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalis and solvents. It has excellent adhesion with optimal resistance to shock and impact.

Laboratory valves

NovaLab laboratory valves are in compliance with DIN 12918-1 and are supplied with an upper part G1/2 with non-rising stem. Volume control is accomplished by several revolutions of the four-winged actuator handle. Sealing is provided by means of an elastic cone seal disc. The upper parts are also available with ceramic seal discs.

According to DIN 12898, valves for water have detachable tube screw connections. For aggressive flow materials, such as fully deionized water, all water-carrying parts are nickel plated. Plastic designs made of PVDF and stainless steel versions complete the product range.

Lab disc taps

NovaLab lab disc valves are suitable for natural gas and LPG. The fittings comply with DIN 12918-2 and the rules for gas fittings in utiliities. They have been recognized and approved by the German Verein des Gas- und Wasserfaches e.V. (DVGW – Water and Gas Association).

NovaLab valves for natural gas and liquid petroleum gas are actuated by turning the two-winged actuator handles by 90°. At the same time, the handle position marks the operating status of the valve. When the handle is parallel to the tube tail, the valve is open; when it is in the transverse position, it is closed.

Column stands

NovaLab lab column stands are available in different heights. Column stands for water, for example standard version 200 and 300 mm, have a pedestal diameter of 55 mm. Column stands for gases with a height of 90 mm have a pedestal diameter of 50 mm. The pedestals can be fitted with anti-rotation devices (roll pins).
