Aluminum LCPVEK valves are designed for vacuum applications which need a compact, simple, solenoid operation valve to control gas flow. These economical valves are ideal for a number of duties ranging from simple laboratory pump isolation to OEM vacuum system integration and design. Their versatility makes them effective both in vacuum pipelines and in chamber admittance applications.
