GD-45
For Steam, Air and Non-Corrosive Gas Service Simple selection
The GD-45 is a compact, high-performance, direct-acting • 1/2", 3/4" and 1"
valve. Inexpensive to buy and use, it is ideal for those • Match pipe size normally
moderate flow applications that do not justify the higher • Three pressure range springs (for best control when
cost of pilot-controlled valves. ranges overlap, use smaller range spring)

The GD-45 is well-suited for laundry and dry-cleaning Long life/easy maintenance
equipment, hospital equipment, tire molds, humidifiers, • Highly resilient phosphor-bronze bellows
small heaters, and applications in food processing. It provides • Hardened stainless-steel working parts
tight, quick, easy installation. • Integral strainer (removable for cleaning) for protection
from wear or dirt
Quick, easy installation • Teflon gaskets used at all joints for improved
• Lightweight and compact leakage prevention
• Piping supports the valve of ductile iron for greater
durability and higher inlet pressure For a fully detailed certified drawing, refer to CDY #1090.
• Screwed connections
• No external sensing lines or parts needed
