Restek RAVEqc quick-connect air valves

RAVEqc quick-connect air valves from Restek are a tool-free alternative to bellows/diaphragm valves, designed to reduce the time and variability associated with connecting air canisters to other devices.

Standard bellows/diaphragm valves rely on compression fittings to connect air cans to flow controllers, autosamplers, cleaners and other equipment commonly used to collect and analyse air samples. Compression fittings also require time and skill to ensure the connections are not overtightened, cross threaded or leaking, which can cause damage, reduce valve lifetime and result in sample loss.

RAVEqc quick-connect air valves eliminate that risk by providing a means of making the connection and opening the valve in one consistent process that means anyone can successfully use them. Whether users need to replace their existing bellows/diaphragm valves or want the extra security of using two valves in tandem to better protect their samples, the quick-connect air valves are an easy-to-use option that make air sampling and analysis easy.
