What is a chick valve?
A chick valve is a fitting for flow control, in which a conical shut-off body, the chick, opens or closes the flow by rotation.
Functionality and Advantages of the Chick Valve
The chick valve is a special shut-off valve that operates similarly to a ball valve but uses a conical shut-off body – the so-called chick – instead of a ball. This cone ensures reliable sealing through its close contact with the housing surface. As a result, there are no gaps between the shut-off body and the housing where particles could accumulate, making the chick valve particularly suitable for media containing solids. Chick valves are ideal for shutting off pipelines and provide a reliable solution for applications where purity and frictionless operation are crucial.
Advantages:
- Free of dead space in both open and closed positions.
- High service life even with solid-containing media.
- Reliable sealing due to conical design.
- Low maintenance requirements.
- Compact design.
- Robust and durable.
