STEAMIX® 2031SS — Stainless Steel

Model 2031SS — Stainless Steel

STEAMIX^® Model 2031SS is a steam/water mixing valve of
Type 304 stainless steel construction. The valve is supplied as standard
with all stainless steel (SS) integral inlet supply risers comprising
3/4″ Y-type strainers and 3/4″ ball valves cross-linked by a stainless
steel bridge piece and lever for simultaneous on/off control of both
inlet supplies. The unit is supplied fully assembled and pressure
tested.  Stainless Steel dual scale top mount Thermometer and Stainless
Steel Inlet Check Valves included.

STEAMIX^® Steam and Water Hose Stations and Mixing Units will not pass live steam.

Steamix mixing valve, featured on all Steamix steam and water hose stations by Armstrong, will not pass live steam in the event of either a significant pressure reduction or complete failure of the cold-water supply.

Steamix is designed to improve efficiency and reduce risk when
mixing steam and water for washdown. When your process demands high
washdown temperatures, adjusting the mix of steam and water becomes much
more difficult and dangerous. With the older style dual-globe valve
mixing “Y,” it is too easy to introduce too much steam—with risky
consequences for your personnel. Here’s why it’s no problem with
Steamix.

Safety

• In the event of either a complete failure of the inlet cold-water
  supply or a reduction in cold-water pressure to below 20 (+/-5) psi (1.4
  bar), STEAMIX will respond with a complete shutdown of outlet flow.
• If there is a structural failure of the primary operating component (diaphragm), STEAMIX will “fail safe” to cold water.
• To prevent over-temperature selection by the user and the potential
  for overheated water and flash steam presentation common with other
  types of hose stations, STEAMIX is supplied with a single-temperature
  locking set.
