GVB/GVB12 Series Snap-Acting Relays

Designed for pneumatic systems, Conoflow Series GVB Snap-Acting Relays change ports to switch or lock in secondary air source when the main supply pressure fails below a predetermined set point. In the event of supply or pilot pressure failure, the positive action relay with one common and two inlet or outlet ports will automatically:
  • Switch from main to auxiliary supply pressure
  • Lock an actuator in its last position
  • Extend or retract an actuator stem
  • Divert flow or pressure from one device to another
The Series GVB Snap-Acting Relays have an integral pilot which eliminates the extra piping and connections required with other lock-up valves. Compact and lightweight, the relays are easily piped and mounted.
  • Set Pressure:  25 to 85 psi (172 to 586 kPa)
  • Maximum Relay Valve Pressure:  150 psi (1034 kPa)
  • Maximum Signal Port Pressure:  100 psi (690 kPa)
  • Relay Valve Port Diameter:  3/16” (4.76 mm) (Cv=0.38)
  • Max Pilot Air Consumption: 3.1 scfh (1.5 lpm) when operating in “A” to “B” circuit mode. 
  • Temperature Range:  0 to 150 °F (-18 to 66 °C)
Connections:
  • Sensing Port: 1/8” NPT
