PQV-Pro Metering Valve, 1-1/4" Tee with Ball Valve

Clemco PQV-Pro™ Abrasive Metering Valve

The PQV-Pro is a pneumatically operated, normally-closed metering valve that delivers consistent, adjustable media flow for pressure blast machines. When the deadman is pressed, control air overcomes spring force to open the valve to your preset position; releasing the handle vents control air and positively closes the valve to stop abrasive flow.

Why it’s great

• Consistent metering with a top-mounted adjustment knob for precise abrasive flow.
• Positive shutoff (spring-return) to stop media when the handle is released.
• Rugged build with flanged connections for easy service and reliable sealing.
• Flexible configurations: order with or without the flanged ball (shutoff) valve; choose 1.25" or 1.50" outlet tee.

Pressure & operating specs

Abrasive compatibility

Designed for most common blast abrasives from 16-mesh to 220-mesh (machine/nozzle may further limit size). Compatible with slags, garnet, steel abrasives, glass bead, crushed glass, and many lightweight medias. Use clean, dry air—finer media requires especially dry air to prevent bridging. Do not use sand containing free crystalline silica.
