What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

The most chemistry-specific product in AVCO's catalog and a genuinely new standard for this project: compliance with Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 6, appropriate for Chlorine Service Classes I & IV. The mechanism to publish is the vented ball, which provides pressure relief during operation — the same off-gassing/pressure-relief pattern already established for sodium hypochlorite across multiple vendors (Hayward TBH Z-Ball vent hole, Richter GU/GUT overflow valves, Asahi's factory 1/8" vent hole), here applied to chlorine specifically. The Flowline chart independently supports the Monel/Hastelloy specification: 316SS is rated only C against the halogen gases and waters in this family.

Materials documented for this service

  • Carbon steel WCB body and ends
  • Monel 400 or Hastelloy C ball, stem and retainers (full-Monel or full-Hastelloy construction also offered)
  • B7 body bolts and 2H nuts
  • 25% carbon filled Teflon / Teflon seats
  • Flowline chart: 316SS rates only C on bromine vapor 25%, saturated bromine water, wet fluorine gas and aqua regia — while PVDF and PTFE rate E; PVC rates F on those same media
