Genebre 2226 Needle Valve – 6000 psi with Vent Port
Manual high-pressure needle valve featuring a side vent port, designed for isolation and controlled venting of small volumes in instrumentation lines or auxiliary circuits. The 2226 series is constructed from stainless steel ASTM A479 Grade 316, with a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi at 38°C and a temperature range of -54°C to +232°C.
Technical Specifications
- Sizes: 1/4” and 1/2”
- Main line connection: threaded ends, compliant with ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1
- Vent port: M8 thread
- Body: ASTM A479-04 Grade 316
- Bonnet, packing nut, lock nut, handle: stainless steel 316
- Stem shaft: stainless steel 316 with nitridation
- Stem packing: PTFE
- O-ring: FKM / Viton
- Kv: 0.41 m³/h for 1/4”, 0.45 m³/h for 1/2”
Vent Port Functionality
The vent port allows for depressurization or drainage of the downstream section post-isolation. It is used in instrumentation setups where safe depressurization is required before instrument removal, calibration, or maintenance.
This arrangement does not replace multi-valve manifolds when full block-and-bleed functionality with separate isolation philosophy is required.
Applications
- High-pressure instrumentation lines
- Pressure gauges, transmitters, and test points
- Hydraulic test benches
- Small bypass or venting points
- Clean gases, nitrogen, air, water, or compatible clean fluids
Not suitable for slurries, suspended solids, or viscous media due to limited seat cross-section and risk of blockage or seat leakage.
Selection Considerations
Pressure/temperature, Kv, venting direction, 316–PTFE–FKM compatibility, and thread standard must be verified. The product page lists ISO 228-1, while the technical sheet specifies ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1; this should be confirmed prior to procurement.
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
