Type A Megaflex
Ǡ Cost-effective, large-diameter valve

Because it eliminates costly actuators, the Type A
Megaflex is the most economical large-diameter automatic valve available.

Ǡ Body acts as built-in actuator
Ǡ Simple two-piece design: body and sleeve
Ǡ No packing or seats to maintain, ever

First introduced by Red Valve, the Type A Megaflex
Valve is available in sizes 30" - 84" and is extremely
simple in design and principle. As with every Red Valve
Pinch Valve, the elastomer sleeve is the only wetted
part, drastically reducing maintenance costs. The
Megaflex Valve’s full-ported actuation is accomplished
by air or hydraulic pressure. The steel body acts as a
built-in actuator, eliminating costly pneumatic, electric
or hydraulic components. Pressure within the space
between the body and the sleeve can open, throttle or
close the valve. Unlike traditional gate and butterfly
valve designs, there are no discs or gates to obstruct flow
or create turbulence.

Ǡ Seals on solids
Ǡ Full-ported design eliminates headloss, reduces
pumping costs

Like all Red Valve Pinch Valves, Megaflex Valves are
full-ported. Thousands of dollars of savings are realized
because Megaflex Valves have little headloss, substantially reducing pumping costs.
Type A Megaflex Valves are often specified as effluent
discharge valves controlling raw sewage, storm overflow,
flow equalization, tailings in mining operations and bulk
material handling.

Materials of Construction
Ǡ Carbon steel body
Ǡ Sleeves available in Pure Gum Rubber, Neoprene,
Hypalon®, Chlorobutyl, Buna-N, EPDM and Viton ®

Red Valve also manufactures a line of large-diameter manually or electrically operated Pinch Valves in sizes 30" - 96".
