AQ-VAV-01 . Air dryer valve spec

Choosing the right AquaMatic valve for your air dryer

Pipe size alone will not get you the right valve. Normal position, configuration, disc material, and body all have to agree before you order. Six questions, and you get a spec sheet you can check against the valve in front of you.

A typical dryer runs a larger normally open valve on the inlet and a smaller normally closed valve with spring assist close on the outlet.

Run this once per valve. The two sides take different builds and different parts kits.

AIR DRYER VALVE SPEC

Why this spec

    Confirm before you order

    Want a second set of eyes on it?

    Send the model number, the size, and a photo of the valve if you have one to sales@buyaq-matic.com. We will confirm the build and the parts kit before anything ships.

    The spec below opens in your email app. Attach a photo of the tag before you send it if the valve is already in service.

    DIAGNOSTIC  ·  AQ-RR-01

    Rebuild it with a kit, or replace the valve?

    When an AquaMatic valve starts leaking or sticking, you’ve got two paths: rebuild it with a diaphragm/seal kit, or swap in a new valve. Tell us the valve family and what you’re seeing, and we’ll give you a straight read on which way to go, plus what to check before you order.

      Not sure you got it right?

      Send us a photo of the valve, with a tape measure in frame if you can, and we will confirm the model before you order. A wrong kit costs a return and a second shipment. A phone call costs two minutes.

      Have the full part number instead? The valve identifier decodes it and confirms material, configuration, and seal materials in one step.

      K52 FIT CHECK  ·  AQ-K52-01

      Is K52 Thermoplastic right for this application?

      K52 valves are glass-filled thermoplastic diaphragm valves built for water treatment work, including acids, caustics, and other chemicals that would eat through a metal valve. They’re not the right call for every job, though. Answer six questions about your application and we’ll give you a straight read, plus point you to the right size or a better-suited family if K52 isn’t it.

          VALVE IDENTIFIER  .  AQ-V42-01

          Which V42 do you have?

          If the tag on your AquaMatic V42 is missing, painted over, or corroded, answer two questions and we will tell you the model, the body series, and which repair kits fit it. Worth knowing up front: kits are named by body series, not by the model letter stamped on the valve.

          Guessing here costs a return and a second shipment, so it is worth thirty seconds of ours. Photograph the valve with a tape measure in frame if you can, and include any markings cast into the body.

          Or use the contact form if you would rather write it out.
