Frequently Asked Questions
How does a pinch valve control flow?
It squeezes the tubing set in its head to stop flow and releases it to let flow through, so only the tubing touches the fluid.
Has it been installed?
No. It is unused NOS, clean and in excellent condition. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
MODEL 955V8188 sits under the Acro Associates name. A pinch valve never touches what it controls, which is the whole charm of the design.
