<BODY> <div> Build in top performance. Specify Contromatics marine valves. Critical shipboard valve and actuator applications demand top performance. But if you're not specifying Contromatics, you're paying too much. Or settling for second best. Because no other line of fluid control products gives you more performance for your dollar in so many marine applications. Contromatics marine valves have earned a reputation for top performance in submarines destroyers, carriers, and many other Navy and Coast Guard vessels. As well as in commercial cargo ships, tankers, hospital ships, dockside test facilities, and offshore drilling rigs. Contromatics marine valves and actuators meet the required military and commercial specifications for shipboard service with fresh or salt water, oil, gas, air, low pressure steam, sewage, and various shipboard chemicals. Here's a quick look at the Contromatics line of performers. CONTRO-SEAL BUTTERFLY VALVES Contro-Seal is the high performance butterfly valve that combines superior design, easy installation, and smooth, economical operation in a single fluid control package. Ideal for many ballast, hydrocarbon, and refrigeration system applications, Contro-Seal offers the economy and performance of a butterfly valve with the application flexibility of a ball valve. The compact design and light weight of Contro-Seal valves reduce space requirements and make installation quick and easy. Seat replacement is simple, too, since no special tools are needed, and removal of the shaft and disc are not required. Bubble-tight shut-off in both directions, a seat that's self-compensating for wear, and excellent flow and throttling characteristics are some of the other features that make Contro-Seal's sea-going performance superior to that of other wafer-type valves. Contro-Seal valves are available from 3" to 24" (larger on application), for pressures to 720 psi and temperatures to 425°F. And they can be fabricated from a variety of materials to meet application requirements. VALVE ACTUATORS All Contromatics valves can be fully automated with Contromatics double-acting or spring return pneumatic actuators for reliable remote operation. Available in aluminum, ductile iron, bronze, and stainless steel, Contromatics actuators offer a wide torque range (87 to 60,230 in. lbs.) and a complete accessory line so you can choose the right actuator for every application.

Screwed, welded, and flanged ends. Standard and full port. Two-way and three-way. In all popular materials and body styles. For pressures to 4,000 psi and * L temperatures to 550°F. The compact design, long life, and quick 1/4-turn action of Contromatics ball valves make their performance superior to gate valves in many marine applications. Engine cooling and compressed air systems, for example. Contromatics ball valves incorporate a pressure-seated, blow-out-proof stem arrangement that uses line fluid flow to ensure maximum sealing action. And a locked-in, one-piece seat and body seal that prevents cold flow. Features that make Contromatics better suited than most other ball valves for fuel oil and fresh water systems. Plus, Contromatics three-piece design makes installation and in-line maintenance quick and easy. Name:.
