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

The ASEPCO Satellite 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 Satellite Valve 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 satellite valve creates a flush entry without a dead leg.

Features & Benefits

  • 1/2-inch in size, and can be machined into the wall of any “host” valve of 1 inch or greater
  • Is flush-mounted to the tank, has no dead legs or dead spaces
  • Easy to clean and self-draining by design
  • Assembles with a clamp, enabling diaphragm change-outs in under a minute
  • Integral travel stops that never need adjusting
  • Enables quick flush or CIP/SIP while the valve is closed, allowing for down stream sterility prior to product introduction, as well as speeding product changeover
