Ceodeux D304
Mt. Pleasant, PA — The D304 standard flow cylinder valve from Ceodeux for use with ultra-high purity and corrosive gas-
es incorporates double-
seal seating technology
into its tied diaphragm
design valves. The double
seal combines a soft seat
made of PCTFE (also
available in Vespel and
PVDF) with a mechani-
cal stainless steel stop to prevent over-torquing of the valve.
Ceodeux’s D304 valve allows for metal-metal sealing
in the
event that a burn out of the soft seat should occur.
