Huntington Mechanical Laboratories PV-150 Vacuum System Angle Valve Aluminum

Huntington Mechanical Laboratories PV-150 Vacuum System Angle Valve Aluminum

The Huntington Mechanical Laboratories PV-150 is a right-angle vacuum valve designed for use in high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum pumping systems. Built with an aluminum body, it features a right-angle (elbow) configuration that allows the valve to redirect gas flow between a vacuum chamber and a pumping line while providing isolation capability. The threaded port connections and flat flange base are characteristic of Huntington's compact valve designs manufactured at their Mountain View, California facility.

Applications

Huntington Mechanical Laboratories has been a supplier of vacuum components to the scientific and industrial communities since the 1960s, producing valves, feedthroughs, and fittings for use in high-vacuum environments. Angle valves like the PV-150 are used in vacuum system plumbing to connect vacuum chambers to roughing pumps, turbomolecular pumps, or ion pumps, while also serving as isolation valves to section off portions of a system for maintenance or pressure control. These valves are common in semiconductor fabrication, thin-film deposition (PVD and CVD), surface science research, electron microscopy, and general laboratory vacuum work. The right-angle configuration is particularly useful where straight-through valve geometry would create routing difficulties in tight system layouts.
