Anderson Greenwood (AGCO) M5A Multi-Port Instrument Gauge Valve
The Anderson Greenwood M5A multi-port instrument gauge valve is engineered for gauge mounting and process industry tie-ins that require fewer components and reduced leak points. Featuring a 3/8″ (9.5mm) orifice, this straight-through flow needle valve is highly resistant to plugging, making it ideal for dirty service and high-temperature applications up to 6,000 psig (414 barg).
BriceBarclay maintains ready-to-ship inventory of the AGCO M5A in durable 316 Stainless Steel. By utilizing this multi-port valve, facilities can eliminate additional main piping penetrations while ensuring repetitive, bubble-tight shutoff.
