Automatic “Tee” and “Wye” Stack Low Leakage Diverter Valves

Air Systems offers diverter valves that are custom designed for in-stack volume control or duct system isolation applications.  The Air Systems diverter valve is our own special design eliminating the traditional two automatic dampers mounted in a “Tee” duct section and utilizes only one “flipper” blade damper and actuator integrally built into a diverter duct body.  We build our diverter valves in a wide range of shapes, sizes and materials of construction.

Our Diverter Valve design offers the following distinct advantages:

  • Custom design based on the application requirements
  • Available in mild steel, stainless steel and special alloy construction
  • Up to 1000F design available
  • Available for ultra-low leakage – less than 0.25%
  • Factory insulation and cladding of diverter body available
  • Maintenance friendly design

Air Systems has over 20 years of combined experience designing low leakage diverter valves, offering our customers industry leading drawing and delivery lead times.
