Flush-entry satellite valve with all of ASEPCO’s great innovations!

The ASEPCO Radial-Diaphragm™ Sterillite™(1) valve is a result of our dedication to our customers needs. It was developed to eliminate the dead leg associated with steam ports on closed valves. The ASEPCO Sterillite valve combines a satellite valve that seats on the wall of a larger “host” flush-mounted tank outlet valve. Wherever steam or small volumes of flushing liquids must enter a process system, the Sterillite valve creates a flush entry without a dead leg.
