Quality Where it Counts: Sherwood GSV & GSHV Global Industrial Valves

Written by Craig Pagano | Aug 2, 2023 6:43:30 PM

Valves can make or break industrial gas systems, which makes choosing a quality valve crucial for long-term success and performance. Sacrificing quality for cost will only end up costing you more in the end, when an inferior valve fails and creates potentially catastrophic system failure.

Sherwood GSV and GSHV Series global industrial gas valves are a sure bet when looking for durability, longevity and quality. Designed for cylinders containing inerts, oxidizers and flammables, Sherwood GSV & GSHV valves are stringently tested to ensure exceptional quality, and are guaranteed 100% helium leak tested.

 


Precision-built, durable components

Manufactured in the United States, at Sherwood’s state-of-the art plant in Pennsylvania, the GSV & GSHV valves are produced using the most precise automated assembly. Precisely machined internal components meet the toughest international valve performance standards. Heavy duty forged brass body stands up to high pressure for reliable durability.

 

 

Designed for ease of use, without sacrificing performance

Sherwood moved away from the older cap-style Pressure Relief Device (PRD) in favor of a unitized plug design that provides excellent flow characteristics while ensuring proper assembly and tamper resistance. This makes the GSV & GSHV valves much easier to install without worrying about over torquing.

An improved metal-to-metal seal below the bonnet threads prevents pressure in the threads at the top of the valve body. To reduce friction and ensure exceptionally low torque levels, the GSV & GSHV valves feature a direct-drive stem design with optimized O-ring (GSV) or double O-ring (GSHV) seal. This means the valve turns incredibly smoothly even when under pressure.

Finally, valve inlets are tapped on the bottom to easily accommodate a dip tube.

Truly global specifications

Sherwood GSV & GSHV valves come in a wide variety of inlet and outlet thread configurations to meet a broad spectrum of customers, country and code specifications, making the GSV & GSHV a truly global solution.
