Micro Valve with Union
What is a Micro Valve with Union?
A Dairy Micro Valve with Union is a compact, hygienic valve designed for precision control in small-bore sanitary pipelines. It is ideal for applications requiring minimal flow regulation or shut-off in confined spaces. The union-type connections allow easy disassembly for cleaning and maintenance, essential in industries with strict hygiene standards.
Asaid Steel Industries is a trusted supplier of Dairy Micro Valves with Unions, offering durable, corrosion-resistant valves made from SS 304 or SS 316L, designed to meet stringent hygienic standards.
