Spirax Sarco SB, SBRA Gunmetal Self-acting Temperature Control Valves

Spirax Sarco SB and SBRA series gunmetal two-port valves for self-acting temperature control. Features DN15-DN25 sizes, PN25 rating, and stainless steel internals for saturated steam and water.

Spirax Sarco SB, SBRA Gunmetal Self-acting Temperature Control Valves

Spirax Sarco SB and SBRA range of two-port gunmetal valves are designed for use with SA control systems to provide a self-acting temperature control unit. These valves are robustly constructed with stainless steel internals and are suitable for a wide range of industrial heating and cooling applications.

Available types

  • SB: Normally open, single seat valve.
  • SBRA: Normally closed, single seat valve. Available with a bleed hole or optional fuse device for specific cooling system requirements.

Standards and Certification

These products fully comply with the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). Typical Test Reports are available from the manufacturer upon request at the time of order placement.
