Genebre 2221 Needle Valve – 3000 psi, ISO 228 F/F
Manual needle valve for throttling control of small flows in clean liquid or gas lines. Series 2221 features female threads ISO 228/1, body and bonnet made of carbon steel ASTM A105, needle and stem from stainless steel A182 F6, and stem sealing with PTFE + graphite.
Technical Specifications
- Sizes: 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”
- Max working pressure: 3000 psi, approx. 206 bar
- Connection: ISO 228/1 female/female
- Temperature range rating: 1/4”–1/2” up to 260°C, 3/4”–1” up to 240°C
- Kv: 0.25 to 1.10 m³/h for available sizes 1/4”–1”
Applications
The 2221 is selected for industrial lines where manual flow regulation is required rather than simple on/off isolation. Typical uses include:
- instrument lines and small bypasses
- high-pressure hydraulic circuits
- auxiliary air, nitrogen, or water lines
- sampling of clean media
- chemical applications compatible with ASTM A105, A182 F6, and PTFE/graphite
Not suitable for slurries, liquids with solids, or media that can cause corrosion to carbon steel.
Selection and Installation Points
Flow direction must follow the arrow on the body. Piping should be free from welding residues, and the valve should not bear mechanical loads from misaligned pipes. Tightening is done at the hex ends or body, not from the handwheel.
Maintenance and Leakage
Periodic operation every six months helps prevent seizing. Leakage from the stem is checked with the gland nut. Seat leakage is usually related to particles between the needle and seat or wear from erosion/corrosion.
FAQ
Is it a control valve?
No. It is a manual needle valve for local adjustment. Automatic control requires a valve with an actuator and calculated Cv/Kv.
What is checked before supply?
Thread ISO 228, size, pressure/temperature, Kv, media compatibility with A105 and PTFE/graphite, and sealing requirements.
Description
Certificates
GENEBRE, S.A. has implemented a quality management system to control the designing and manufacturing of fluid control valves, as well as the distribution of home and public taps.
This system complies with the requirements of the current international UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2015, certified by the prestigious German certification organization TÜV Rheinland.
In 2000, GENEBRE began to comply with the European Business Excellence Model, more commonly known as the EFQM. As a result, in 2003, the Catalan Regional Government awarded us with the Quality Award. This new system enables us to ensure the quality of GENEBRE's products and also to offer added value to our clients.
In 2012, we obtained the certification for the Environmental Management System. This system is certified according to the UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2015, also by TÜV Rheinland. GENEBRE QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
