Product Overview
The KOZO WCB Heat Jacket Gate Valve is designed for process media that must be kept warm to maintain flowability or prevent crystallization and solidification. A heating jacket surrounding the valve body can circulate steam, thermal oil or another approved heating medium.
Key Design Features
- ASTM A216 WCB gate-valve pressure body.
- External heating jacket around the valve body.
- Wedge-gate straight-through isolation.
- Flanged process ends with separate jacket utility connections.
- Manual or gear operation depending on size.

Selection Notes
Process pressure and jacket pressure are separate design conditions. Jacket medium temperature, pressure and connection sizes must be specified independently. The required holding temperature should be based on the process fluid rather than the valve alone.
How to Specify
Please provide process size/class, process medium, required holding temperature, jacket medium, jacket pressure/temperature, jacket connection, trim and operator.
