Ideal Vacuum Cube 9 x 9 in. Gate Valve Adapter Plate Kit ISO-F 160 This is an ISO-F 160 gate valve adapter plate kit for the 9 x 9 in. Ideal Vacuum Cube. This adapter allows the compact connection of an ISO-F 160 gate valve (with tapped mounting holes) to an Ideal Vacuum Cube™, without additional plumbing or fittings. The adapter consists of two plates. One plate has our patented Taper-Seal™ O-ring seal and is mounted to the Cube frame. The other plate is mounted to the gate valve’s threaded flange. An ISO 160 centering ring with O-ring is sandwiched between the two plates which are then screwed together to make the seal. This adapter kit can be used to isolate a turbomolecular pump from the chamber. It creates the shortest possible pumping path for maximum high vacuum performance. Another use for the gate valve adapter kit is to join two Cubes together in load lock applications. Two adapter kits are required, one on each side of the gate valve. When two cubes are joined with a gate valve between them, one Cube can be used as an antechamber to transfer materials from ambient atmosphere into the other which remains under vacuum. Similarly, when two Cubes of differing sizes are joined with a gate valve between them, the system can be used for explosive decompression testing. Here, the larger Cube decompresses the smaller Cube. It is best to use a pneumatic gate valve since it opens more rapidly than a manually operated one. Please download the gate valve adapter kit user manual for installation instructions. Features: 9" x 9" plate size Uncoated 6061-T6 aluminum Connects ISO-F 160 gate valve to 9 x 9 Cube face Shortest possible pumping path for maximum performance No extra tubing or fittings needed Hardware included Mounts in any orientation Directly mounts to frame size: 9 x 9 x 9

Ideal Vacuum UltraLock High Vacuum HV Manually Operated Gate Valve ISO-F DN 160 Flange, Ball Groove Locking, Viton Gate & Bonnet Seals, 304 Stainless Steel. ISO-160 Bolt Down Flange with M10 x 1.50 Threads These Ideal Vacuum UltraLock™ manually operated gate valves have an ISO-F DN 160 vacuum flange with M10 x 1.50 blind-tapped holes. They are rated for high vacuum (HV) and follow vacuum technology standards as described in DIN 28404 and ISO 1609. Our new UltraLock series of premium manually operated vacuum gate valves are built using an innovative ball-and-groove locking mechanism and have a typical life of 300,000 cycles before needing service. They are made with corrosion resistant 304 stainless-steel gates and valve bodies. All of our UltraLock series of manually operated gate valves include a visible external position indicator - the white ring conveniently mounted below the actuator. UltraLock Locking Mechanism: Our UltraLock high vacuum gate valves employ an ingenious ball-and-groove mechanism to lock the valve. Inside the valve body is a rolling carriage with lubricated ball bearings on which the gate is attached. When the valve is actuated, the carriage and gate are slid towards the vacuum port until the carriage reaches the end of the valve body. This positions the gate concentric to the port. Continued pressure on the carriage causes a set of stainless-steel balls, riding in a decreasing depth groove between the carriage and the gate, to exert outward pressure on the gate. This outward force pushes the gate into its closed position. A leak-tight seal is obtained as the outward pressure forces the gate’s O-ring seal to be pressed against the valve body’s sealing surface. It is common for these valves to achieve an extended life of 300,000 cycles before service is needed. UHV vs HV Versions: Our Conflat CF flanged gate valves are UHV rated. The bellows are welded to the bonnet plate, and oxygen-free, high-thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper sealing gaskets and flange knife-edges form the required metal-to-metal seal between the bonnet plate and valve body. Our Conflat UHV UltraLock valves have a low leak rate of < 3.75 x 10-10 Torr l/sec and are bakeable up to 200 °C with the gate open (150°C with the gate closed). Our KF and ISO-F flanged gate valves use Viton O-rings for the bellows and bonnet plate seals and are therefore limited to high-vacuum (HV) applications with ultimate pressures down to 3x10-8 Torr. KF and ISO-F series UltraLock valves have a leak rate of 1.5 x 10-9 Torr l/sec and are bakeable to 150 °C (with the valve open or closed). Specifications: Our Ideal Vacuum UltraLock gate valves are designed for dependable High and Ultra- High Vacuum (UHV) applications and are often used in combination with cryo, turbo, and ion high vacuum pumps. Available sizes include Conflat CF 2.75, 4.5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inch sizes; ISO-F DN -63, -100, -160, -200, -250, -320, -400, -500, and -630 sizes; and quick flanged sizes KF-40 and KF-50.

Solenoid Kit for UtraLock Pneumatic Gate Valve, 110-120 VAC, Includes Mounting Hardware. This solenoid kit is for use with an Ideal Vacuum ULTRALockTM or HVA pneumatically operated gate valve. The solenoid operates the gate valve’s pneumatic piston. All fittings and connections must be leak-tight to ensure proper operation. These 110-120 VAC solenoid kits include an AVS-5111-120A, 4-way, direct-acting solenoid valve, and everything else needed to operate an UltraLock or HVA pneumatic gate valve including air line tubing push-to-connect fittings. For faster actuation of larger gate valves, larger tubing and different push-to-connect fittings may be used. Kit Components: AVS-5111-120A 4-way solenoid valve. Mounting bracket for use with Ideal Vacuum UltraLock or HVA pneumatic gate valves. All necessary mounting screws and hardware for use with UltraLock pneumatic gate valves. Five (5) 4 mm OD tubing push-to-connect to 1/8" male universal pipe thread adapters. Two (2) exhaust mufflers. 6’ length of 1/4" OD flexible polyurethane tubing. Solenoid Valve Features: 24 VDC, 3.5 VA. 20-115 PSIG working input pressure. 215 PSIG max input pressure. 80 PSIG required for most pneumatic gate valves. Five (5) 1/8" NPSF ports: A: Normally open outlet to P. Exhausted to A when energized. B: Normally exhausted outlet to R. Open to P when energized. P: Inlet. R: Normally closed. Exhaust from A when energized. S: Normally exhaust from B. Closed when energized. Locking manual override button. Din style wiring connector with LED indicator. Buna rubber seals. When properly connected, if there is an interruption to the solenoid’s electrical power, the attached gate valve immediately closes and remains in the closed position until power is restored. The solenoid valve has a red manual override button. When properly connected, pushing the overide button forces the gate valve to open. When the override button is released the gate valve closes. The override button may be locked in the pressed position using a flat head screw driver and rotating the button 90°. Rotating the button back to its original position will allow it to spring back to the unpressed position. Installation Instructions: Mount the solenoid on to the gate valve bonnet using the included mounting bracket and screws. When no tapped holes are present, the solenoid must be mounted remotely. Attach air line tubing between solenoid port B and the gate valve’s port which opens the gate valve when pressurized (the port closest to the bonnet). Attach air line tubing between solenoid port A and the other gate valve port which closes the gate valve when pressurized (the port at the top of the pneumatic cylinder). Optionally connect solenoid ports R and S to house exhaust. Attach solenoid port P to (user supplied) house air at 80 psi. Apply 80 PSI air pressure to the solenoid valve and verify that the gate valve closes and remains closed. If the gate valve opens and remains open, switch the tubes to solenoid outlets A and B. Press the manual overide switch and verify that the gate valve opens and remains open while the switch is pressed. Release the manual overide switch and verify that the gate valve closes again. With no electrical power applied, the solenoid will automatically be in the closed, locked position . When electrical power is applied to the solenoid, the gate valve will open.
