A valve connector is a specialized connector utilized for linking fluid control equipment to piping systems.
Available in diverse types, the selection of these connectors depends on factors such as fluid type, pressure levels, and environmental conditions. Operating on the principle of fluid control and leak prevention, they employ internal valve mechanisms and sealing mechanisms. Valve connectors find extensive application across pneumatic equipment, hydraulic systems, water cooling setups, medical devices, and chemical plants.
Comprising a main body, connecting parts, valve mechanisms, sealing mechanisms, and actuators, valve connectors collaborate to ensure effective fluid control. Key attributes include facile connection and disconnection, leak prevention, resilience to pressure, heat, and corrosion. Regular maintenance and cleaning are imperative for the optimal performance of valve connectors.
