  • Dimensions: 26 x 40 x 60 mm

PK Series [Tubing I.D.: 3.2 mm, O.D.: 6.4 mm / 2-way]

PK Series

The PK series is a standard pinch valve for medium diameter silicone tubing (Inner diameter is around 3 – 6 mm). This has a lineup of N.C. (Normally Closed) types and N.O. (Normally Open) types.
  • Tubing ID: 1.6 ~ 6.4 mm
  • Tubing OD: 4.8 ~9.6 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone
  • Dimensions: 36 x 40 x 65 – 88.3 mm

EPK Series [Tubing I.D.: 10 mm, O.D.: 13 mm / 2-way NO]

EPK Series

This EPK series is a standard pinch valve for large diameter tubings of 10 – 15 mm. This has a lineup of N.C. (Normally Closed) types and N.O. (Normally Open) types.
  • Tubing ID: 10.0 ~ 15.0 mm
  • Tubing OD: 13.0 ~19.0 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone
  • Dimensions: φ64 x 112 – 132 mm

PS Series [Tubing I.D.: 1.6 mm, O.D.: 3.2 mm]

PS Series
This PS series is a standard miniature pinch valve for small diameter tubing. There are three types: N.C. (Normally Closed), N.O. (Normally Open), and Dual, which has both an N.O. and N.C. side that operates simultaneously.
  • Tubing ID: 0.8 ~ 1.6 mm
  • Tubing OD: 2.4 ~ 3.2 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone or Pharmed®
  • Dimensions: 26 x 39.2 x 49.5 mm

PM Series [Tubing I.D.: 1.6 mm, O.D.: 3.2 mm]

PM Series

The PM series is a solenoid pinch valve which supports a wide range of tubing materials such as silicone, PharMed®, and Tygon®. This pinch valve can be freely used as an NC/NO type with a single tube or as a Dual type with two tubes. It can also be configured as a 3-way valve by using a Y-shaped fitting.
  • Tubing ID: 0.8 ~ 1.6 mm
  • Tubing OD: 2.4 ~ 3.2 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone, Pharmed® or Tygon®
  • Dimensions: 26 x 40 x 60 mm

PL Series [Tubing I.D.: 1 mm, O.D.: 3 mm / 2-way]

PL Series

The PL series is a pinch valve adopting a latching solenoid, which maintains the valve open or closed state through the utilization of a permanent magnet. It contributes to low power consumption, because electricity is consumed only when energized.
  • Tubing ID: 0.8 ~ 2.0 mm
  • Tubing OD: 2.4 ~ 4.0 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone
  • Dimensions: 30.4 x 30.4 x 61.7 mm

Pinch Valve - PWK Series [Tubing I.D.: 1.0 mm / O.D.: 3.0 mm] / 3-way]

PWK Series

This is the PWK series, it is a PW series solenoid pinch valve with the tube holding feature. The actuator is open-framed and used for silicone tubing of I.D. 1.6 mm.
  • Tubing ID: 1.0 mm
  • Tubing OD: 3.0 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone
  • Dimensions: W39.2 x L26 x H59 mm

NP Series [Tubing I.D.: 3 mm, O.D.: 5 mm / 3-way]

NP Series

The NP series is a solenoid pinch valve and an improved model of the Pinch Valve – PK Series. There is a slit in the tube holder which allows the ability to insert tubing from the side of the pinch valve so that it is easy to use.
  • Tubing ID: 2.0 ~ 6.4 mm
  • Tubing OD: 4.0 ~9.6 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone
  • Dimensions: 36 x 40 x 64.5 – 87.5 mm

EL Series [Tubing I.D.: 10 mm, O.D.: 13 mm / 2-way]

EL Series

The EL series is a solenoid pinch valve, which is an equivalent model to the Pinch Valve – EPK Series (for the large diameter tubings), but with the latching mechanism. It contributes to low power consumption, because electricity is consumed only when energized.
  • Tubing ID: 10.0 ~ 15.0 mm
  • Tubing OD: 13.0 ~19.0 mm
  • Tubing Material: Silicone
  • Dimensions: φ64 x 128.7 – 140.7 mm
