How To Order
To order, specify Cash Valve type by specific series designation (i.e. B Series).
Also state the following:
1. Valve size
2. Service (water, air, oil, etc.)
3. Inlet pressure
4. Outlet or delivery pressure range and setting
5. Maximum required flow rate
6. System operating temperature
7. Optional features, if any, as described for a specific valve.
Notes:
1. NPTF, also referred to as “Dryseal” thread, is designed to provide a more leak-free seal without the
use of Teflon tape or other sealant compound. NPTF threads are interchangeable with NPT threads
and are standard on all Cash Valve products.
2. Series B valves are also available with special modifications. Cash Valve will be pleased to assist
you in selecting the regulator features that are needed to meet the service requirements of your
particular system. Consult the factory for details.
