Advantages and Features
Advantages Features
Easy installation, Compact body Compared to diaphragm actuator cylinder actuator is compact in design
and has lower center of gravity.
Light weight so less pipe stress from static and dynamic loads.
Separable end flanges allow the valve to be installed in many
orientations and compensate for flange misalignment.
Minimal life-time cost Excellent interchangeability between sizes and other MASCOT products.
Valve design minimizes requirements for stocking spare parts.
Stiff, heavy-duty parts provide extended life.
Actuator design allows simple, easy maintenance.

simply changing the end flanges which are separable, Class

GFlo
Gaskets and Clamps
The GFlo is uniquely designed with the bonnet and seat ring
gaskets fully protected. Since the bonnet sits metal-to-metal in
the body, the bonnet gasket compression is determined by the
depth of the gasket step on the bonnet, which is machined to
provide the required gasket compression.
When the bonnet is fully installed, force is transmitted through
the seat retainer to secure the seat ring in its position. The
Bonnet Gasket body, seat retainer and seat ring are all machined to close
tolerances to provide the proper gasket compression Unlike
Seat Ring the bonnet, the seat ring does not sit in the body, allowing the
Gasket small clearance to compensate for manufacturing tolerances
and thermal expansion.
Yoke Clamps
Usually the actuator is attached to the GFlo body assembly
with two precision cast, stainless steel yoke clamps, although
in some cases the actuator is bolted directly to the bonnet.
Each clamp has an inclined plane surface which, when
bolted together, securely fastens the actuator yoke to the
bonnet. MASCOT's clamp design allows easy removal under
Yoke maximum corrosive conditions. Associated bolts and locknuts
Clamp are provided in plated carbon steel, but if required, stainless
steel is also available.

Trim Types
1. Standard full area trim provides maximum CV.
2. Reduced trim is available in a wide variety of sizes when
lower CV’s and large bodies are required.
3. Integral trim uses a special seat machined into the body
and an oversized plug to provide additional CV beyond the
capabilities of full area trim.
GFlo's valves can be converted from any trim type
to another since all seat rings and plugs with a given size and
pressure class are completely interchangeable. Integral trim is
Full Area Reduced Integral available by removing the seat ring and by changing the
