If you want to go it alone, use the Valve Finder Guide for a good cross reference for best typical use of valves in specific types of applications. For a typical valve setup, click here. If you need a little more help, but don't want to have to pick up the phone just yet, use DispenseFinder© Software. Please feel free to call if you have any questions: (818) 597-4300. Ask for Applications. For more complete details, specifications and drawings, click on the pictures to the left of the valve overview:

	Valve Controller for small to large shots or beads, thin to thick materials, suitable for the complete line of IntelliSpense™ valves and spray valves.
	The Front Closing Valve will work in varied types of dispensing processes, in an automatic dispensing system, robotic application or with a simple benchtop controller,
	High Pressure Spool Valve for Thick Materials. To produce small to large shots or continuous beads, this high-pressure dispense valve will dispense high viscosity materials such as silicones, RTV's, sealants and greases.
	Atomizing Spray Valves in flat or round. Eliminate some masking of components with a concentrated spray pattern 0.25 to over 2" in width. The lower air chamber forces the needle to retract, just as it does in a front closing valve.
	The Automatic Manual Diaphragm valve (AMD, shown left) is ideal for dispensing low to medium viscosity fluids in hand held operations, triggering a valve controller by foot pedal. For a typical setup, click here.
	MOD Manually Operated Diaphragm Valve is ideal for Cyanoacrylates and other low to medium viscosity fluids, for operator-applied situations. Available in semi-automatic model (above) when triggered by a foot pedal.
	7030000 Diaphragm Valves for Micro Shots to beads for low viscosity materials such as Cyanoacrylates. Also in a Medium to High Viscosity Spring Assisted dual acting valve for automated solutions for dots, beads, potting.
	Positive Displacement Metering Valves for thin to thick materials and micro to small shot sizes.  Suitable for benchtop or automatic applications. Shot sizes can be fine tuned by adjustment knob on some models.
	Pinch Tube Valve for thin materials, micro to small shots of semi-viscous liquids including mixed two-part component fluids and Cyanoacrylates. The valve makes contact with fluid being dispensed in disposable tube assembly.
	Auger Screw Valves are excellent choices for medium to thick, filled materials. Suitable for medium to high-viscosity pastes, epoxies, solder pastes and other filled materials. Use the Auger Valve Controller to dispense.
	Twin Valve for automation or handheld applications for thin plural component bead, dot, potting, or encapsulation. Integrated with our programmable meter-mix solutions, is compatible with a variety of disposable static mixers.
	Dispensing stands allow syringe barrels, cartridges, and valves to be securely mounted for use in any number of offline bench-top work stations. They are all specifically made for each application listed.
	Rugged valve handles for auto and manual applications from air driven, electric or "dummy" handles for ergonomic comfort while dispensing with any of our dispensing valves. Perfect for high-repetition or prolonged use applications.
To feed any IDS valve, choose from our dispensing syringes, (to feed thin to medium materials in very small shots) our single cartridges, (for medium to thicker materials in smaller shots or beads) or for large volume capacity, order one of our reservoirs (for thin to medium materials) or one of our pail dispenser units, for thicker materials. If you are not sure of the correct valve for your specific application, or if you want IDS to quote on a specially made valve or valve system, click here and fill in the work sheet that best describes the material you are using (single or dual) and some process notes. While you are at it, send us the Technical Data Sheets (TDS) for your material. Every little bit helps and the quote desk has never complained about too much information. Electronic files are best; send to: service@dispensinglink.com
