Miniaturized diaphragm valve design with typical lifetime as high as 1,000,000 cycles. Available in loop sampling or internal sample designs.

  • Only 35 mm (1.375") in diameter
  • >1,000,000 cycle lifetime
  • Three configurations: 6 port, 10 port, and 4 port internal sample
  • Built in actuator
  • 1/16" or 1/32" Valco zero dead volume fittings

The VICI mini diaphragm valve is designed for trouble-free use in applications requiring minimal maintenance and maximum lifetime, making it an ideal choice for the process industry, automated lab analyzers, or continuous-monitoring environmental analyses.

The mini diaphragm valve consists of plungers and ports arranged in a circular pattern, with the plungers controlled by the reciprocation action of two air actuated pistons. Maintenance procedures are greatly simplified, since a single screw holds the valve together and locating pins ensure proper alignment. Extremely long lifetime, very short actuation time (10 milliseconds), minimum internal dead volume, and reliability have made this type of valve very successful in process gas chromatography for both sample injection and column switching.
