MODEL 343GF/348GF
Hose End Pressure Control Valve
343GF 348GF
The Cla-Val Model 343GF/348GF HEPCV is designed and con-
structed of high strength aluminum and stainless steel. It utilizes
the latest in low friction seal technology. Due to the design of the
internal components, the 343GF/348GF HEPCV provides the best
possible surge pressure protection available for aircraft refueling.
The use of large diameter springs gives the Model 343GF/348GF
superior hose end pressure regulation. Also, the overall pressure
drop through the fully open Model 343GF is the lowest available.
Both of these features contribute to shorter refueling times.
The piston of the Cla-Val Model 343GF/348GF HEPCV is a one-
piece design made of stainless steel, a Cla-Val exclusive providing
a high level of durability.
Typical Application
• Unique one-piece stainless steel piston is stronger
and more durable than aluminum pistons
• Larger Springs improve pressure control
• Three different pressure settings available
• Durable anodized aluminum body
The Cla-Val Model 343GF/348GF Hose End Pressure
Control Valve (HEPCV) is a direct acting pressure regula-
tor. It is designed for use in aircraft refueling to protect the
receiving aircraft from excess pressure and damage due
to pressure surges. It is bolted to a Cla-Val Model 341GF
or 347GF Aircraft Refueling Nozzle at the end of a deliv-
ery hose or a Pantograph used to refuel jet aircraft under
pressure.
The Cla-Val Model 343GF/348GF HEPCV features a flanged inlet
for connection to other flanged Cla-Val refueling components (such
as a Pantograph, a D-1 swivel joint or another Model 343GF
HEPCV), and a flanged outlet that bolts directly to the inlet of the
Cla-Val Model 341GF or Cla-Val Model 347GF Nozzle. The Cla-
Val Model 343GF/348GF will also bolt to older Carter Nozzles that
utilize flanged connections.
The Cla-Val Model 343GF/348GF HEPCV can be ordered in three
standard pressure control settings; 35 psig, 45 psig and 55 psig.
Other pressure settings can be easily accommodated by special
order.
