 Maximum Durability, Performance
and Value Without the Mess
NewCon knife gate valves (KGV) perform extremely
well in both large and fine-coarse mineral
processing, wastewater treatment and coal-
fired power generation facilities, and are built to
withstand the world’s most severe duty abrasive
slurry applications.
Zero leakage to atmosphere and
100% downstream isolation.
As a purge-less KGV, we guarantee zero leakage to
atmosphere, as well as 100% downstream
isolation, with the industry’s longest wear life.
Manufactured in the USA to outlast
all other knife gate valves:
NewCon’s field-replaceable urethane liner far outlasts
the wear life of the competition’s resilient seats and
sleeves. It is durable, abrasive resistant, and economical
to replace. Combined with the molded elastomer gate
seal, the NewCon rebuild kit is 10% to 15% of the cost of
a new valve. NewCon’s extremely thick, robust gates are
guaranteed not to bend, which contributes to maximum
wear life between rebuilds. System downtime due to
premature knife gate failure is reduced to the absolute
minimum.

Reliability equals functionality.

NewCon knife gate valves offer increased valve
flow capacity over eccentric plug valves, a smaller
valve envelope and face to face dimension, and
reliable functionality, even after long periods,
in some cases many years, without operation. AIS approved!
Eventually, when valve cycling is imperative, the The only knife gate valve that is 100% made in the
NewCon knife gate valve can be counted on to USA makes NewCon the number one selection for
open or close easily. American Iron and Steel Act (AIS) funded projects
in the municipal wastewater treatment industry.
NewCon valves are the reliable, cost-saving
solution to using eccentric plug valves where
struvite scale prevents the plug valves from
operating.

Self-flushing design - how it works.

As our gate cycles, and slurry velocity increases,
the tapered edge of the NewCon gate redirects
the slurry flow into the molded urethane gate seat
area, creating turbulence and increased velocity.
This allows for the valve to flush itself, ensuring
a tight seal. The rigid gate, and the abrasion
resistant properties of urethane, allow for
our valve to seal time after time, again and
again, regardless of how often the valve is
actuated. Cycle a NewCon valve daily or
just annually, and you will get the same
result—zero down-stream leakage—this is
accomplished only through the utilization
of NewCon’s thick, robust stainless steel
gate, and our extremely abrasive resistant
urethane liner.
 Applications
NewCon valves are 100% American made resilient seated 150# class on-off
service knife gate valves. For 30 years, we have been isolating severe-duty
abrasive slurries globally, in a variety of industries.

Most Demanding Applications
Piston Seal Technology For The 21st Century
Parker’s new universal piston seal design addresses the performance balance between low
pressure sealability, low friction, extrusion resistance and seal life.
One piston style is used for all piston seal and wear ring configurations and will suit all application
requirements. A common piston design permits field changing of seal configuration or seal and
wear band material without replacing costly machined components when variations in application
parameters occur, such as fluid, temperature or duty cycle.
All piston options include dual non-metallic wear rings to provide maximum stability and bearing
area for protection against eccentric loads.
Parker WearGard™ wear rings are internally lubricated for reduced friction and formulated for
heavy-duty load-bearing applications.

Parker HP Polyurethane Piston Seal Parker KP Filled PTFE Piston Seal

The Parker HP energized bi-directional piston seal
improves upon the low friction and long wear of
lipseals by including excellent low pressure sealing
performance. Specially formulated polyurethane is
long wearing and abrasion resistant with running
friction comparable to lipseals. An o-ring energizer
ensures virtually zero leakage in low pressure
applications. Also, pressure trapping that can result
with energized lipseals is not possible with a single
energized seal.
Parker’s HP piston seal is an excellent choice for most
industrial applications operating with mineral based
hydraulic oil and is available in Seal Classes 1 and 4.
The Parker KP bronze filled PTFE seal ring material
has low running friction for accurate positioning in
closed loop servo applications.
When combined with a fluorocarbon energizing ring
the Parker KP seal is rated for 400° F and will increase
service intervals in high temperature applications
when compared to fluorocarbon lipseals.
By combining the Parker KP seal with other energizer
o-ring compounds and wear ring materials, the
KP seal offers excellent service in all Seal Class
environments.

Parker RP Thermoplastic Seal Parker WP Mixed Media Seal

The Parker RP step cut ring is made of self-
lubricating, glass reinforced, thermoplastic and is
o-ring energized. Unlike cast iron rings that bypass
oil, the Parker RP seal provides drift free operation
throughout the operating pressure range. This tough
seal is fully extrusion resistant, even in the face of
extreme pressure spikes, thus ensuring superior wear
resistance in the most demanding applications.
Parker RP can operate up to 300° F and is compatible
with Seal Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The Parker WP Mixed Media seal is designed for
applications requiring different media on either side of
the piston. This option is ideal when hydraulic oil is on
one side of the piston and air is on the opposite side;
and it can be equally effective when dissimilar fluids
are on either side of the piston.
Superior low-friction bi-directional sealing is
accomplished by combining an energized filled PTFE
seal with a redundant elastomer seal. Energizer and
redundant elastomer seal materials are available
for compatibility with seal classes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
Note: WP piston seal groove is not universal in
1.50" bore.

can be referenced in the following pages to help assist in this process. In the event that you have additional
questions or concerns, or if more information is required, please contact your local Parker distributor or our
customer service representatives for assistance.
1. Establish the system requirements......................................................................................................... Series 2H
Overview
A

• How heavy is the load to be moved?

• What is the nominal operating pressure of the system?
• How far does the load have to move?
• What is the speed at which the load will move?
• What is the fluid type and the temperature to which the cylinder will be exposed?
2. Mounting Style.................................................................................................................................... Pages 5 & 174
• Determine the best mounting style for the application.
• If your application requires a mounting style that is not exactly matched by one of our catalog offerings, we can
supply the mounting you need. If the required mounting resembles one of our standards, specify that style,
enter ‘S’ in the Special Modification field and provide a dimension drawing of your mount. Special mounting
styles that do not resemble a standard style will be designated as style TX by the factory.
3. Cylinder Bore and Operating Pressure........................................................................................... Pages 164-165
• Review the theoretical push and pull force for a given bore size to determine.
4. Piston Rod.......................................................................................................................................... Pages 176-178
• Determine what rod size will be required to avoid buckling.
• Determine if a single or double rod cylinder is required.
• Determine the rod end style and rod end thread.
• Will stop tubing be required?
5. Piston Seals..................................................................................................................................... Pages VI and VII
• Determine the best seal type for your application. All selections are high load style that include dual
non-metallic wear bands straddling the piston seal.
•
Parker HP polyurethane piston seal can hold a load in position and is your best choice for general industrial
applications utilizing mineral based fluids in Seal Classes 1 & 4.
•
Parker KP filled PTFE piston seal is our lowest friction and highest heat resistance (up to 400° F) offering that
will hold a load in position and can withstand high load and is available in all Seal Classes.
•
Parker RP self-lubricating, reinforced, heat-stabilized thermoplastic piston seal has the highest resistance to
extrusion in extreme pressure spike conditions, can hold a load in position and has long wear characteristics
comparable to cast iron rings. RP seals are available in Seal Classes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.
•
Parker WP mixed-media piston seal is for applications requiring different media on either side of the piston
and is ideal with hydraulic fluid on one side of the piston and compressed air on the opposite side. WP seals
are available in Seal Classes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
6. Cushioning......................................................................................................................................... Pages 179-184
• Determine if cushions are required to safely stop the load.
• Determine whether optional solid cap cushion construction should be selected over standard floating
cushion bushing style.
7. Ports.....................................................................................................................................................Pages 172-173
• Select the best possible port size for a given speed requirement.
• Select port position.
8. Piston rod and mounting accessories............................................................................................ Pages 132-139
• Determine how you will attach the cylinder to the load.

Description
Sensing and Control offers the world's most advanced line of
heavy-duty limit switches. These switches include boss-and-
socket head design for secure head-to-body retention, unique
all-metal drive train for consistent operating characteristics
even at high temperature (lasts longer without the need for
frequent adjustment than drive trains with plastic parts,) self-
lifting pressure plate terminals save wiring time, easily
identified grounding terminal (inside) for compliance with OSHA
and other regulatory agency standards, one piece flat gasket
(seals better than gaskets that go around curves and corners,
does not contact terminal pins to reduce chances of fluid
migration,) front mounting and interchangeability of single-
anddouble-pole switches, plug-in and non plug-in with one
another and with other switch brands, tracking
interchangeability of actuator levers for single- and double-pole
switches, plug-in and non plug-in, twin shaft seals for an extra
measure of protection, inner FC O-ring seal, outer Buna-N seal
(all FC available,) FC shaft and diaphragm seals on side rotary
switches, rugged corrosion-resistant zinc head and body are
phosphate treated and epoxy finished, exclusive teller tab
assures proper torque (when it cannot be moved the lever is
tight enough to prevent slippage) and domestic and
international conduit taps.
