Valve Designs

United States Controls’ patented self-cleaning valve design is unique in the industry and sets the standard for accuracy, longevity and reliability. All US Controls Series Spray Valves are precision machined and have retained fasteners and seals for superior reliability. Valves can be pulsed on and off up to 5 cycles per second and are offered as single, double or triple row assemblies to spray the exact amount of coolant required on each zone. Each valve may be controlled independently of the others.
