Hydroplex HCI TWIN DISC Valves are engineered with a specific purpose to manage high-pressure liquids and gases, offering precise control, dependability, and prolonged service. The valve’s body and control element are designed to maximize the time between services. The modular design ensures that all worn-out parts can be replaced, making the valve easy to service and fully repairable. This valve is built to exceed your process requirements. The design is flexible enough to allow field conversions from manual to automated operations, and from single-stage to multistage pressure drop. An optional wear sleeve is available to mitigate the effects of cavitation and mechanical erosion, which are common in the fluid recovery process following pressure reduction. The unique hub design allows for a mix or match of inlet and outlet connections to suit process piping configurations or replacements due to wear.

HCI Advanced Features
- Valve Body: Durable and corrosion-resistant 316 stainless material.
- Hub Assembly: Allows easy access to internals without breaking pipe connections, disconnecting or recalibrating the actuator. The design allows for less expensive replacement of the downstream hub in lieu of replacing the whole valve body.
- Wear Sleeve (Optional): All valve hubs allow for wear sleeves. The wear sleeve is made from a durable Stellite material for abrasive or turbulent environments extending valve life.
- Fixed Orifice Bean (Optional): The Hydra design allows for placement of a Fixed Orifice Bean to achieve up to a 2 stage (HCI) or 3 stage (HCA/HCY/CSX) pressure drop within the valve. The fixed orifice bean also extends the life of the valve.
- MOV Trim:All valves come standard with Tungsten Carbide Trim available in sizes up to 3/4”.
- Rotator: The smaller rotator outside diameter reduces operating torque, requiring smaller and less expensive actuators.
- Manual Handle: The handle and rotator are specially designed to resist thread pull out.
- Calibration Plate: Handle equipped with indicator pointing to a Calibration Plate showing percentage and # of 64ths open.
- Actuator Mounting (Optional – Not Shown): Design allows for mounting of common valve actuators with a simplified system to reduce hysteresis.
