Antistatic Vacuum Hose Slide Valve

The Loc-Line 81308as is an antistatic vacuum hose slide valve built from acetal copolymer. It provides corrosion-resistant and water-resistant performance for fluid handling systems. The non-threaded connection fits a 2 1/2 in diameter hose without additional fittings. This component suits workshops and industrial environments requiring static control.

Upgrading From Standard Valves

Replace ordinary slide valves when static discharge risks damaging sensitive equipment or igniting vapours. The antistatic material prevents charge buildup during the transfer of solvents, fuels and oils. Compatibility with acetone, alcohol, gasoline, grease, lacquer solvents, sodium hydroxide and dish detergents extends service life in harsh chemical streams. The jump is worth it whenever static safety and broad chemical resistance are both required.

Suited For Static-Sensitive Fluid Lines

This valve fits operators moving flammable or solvent-based liquids through 2 1/2 in vacuum hose who need integral static dissipation. It is not for buyers needing threaded connections or a different hose diameter. It is not for systems requiring metal-bodied valves or high-temperature ratings beyond the acetal copolymer range. Buyers who want more connection options should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What hose diameter does the 2 1/2 in non-threaded connection on the 81308as valve fit?

The valve has a 2 1/2 inch non-threaded connection that slides over vacuum hose of the same outside diameter.

How is the slide valve installed on the hose and what step is often missed?

Push the hose onto the valve's smooth 2 1/2 in connection; the step often missed is securing it with a clamp or band so it cannot pull off under vacuum.

When should the acetal copolymer slide valve be replaced?

Replace the valve if the acetal copolymer body cracks, the slide mechanism binds, or antistatic performance degrades after chemical exposure.
