Plasgear™ operators are designed for use with ¼ turn butterfly valves having an ISO 5211 F07, F10 or F14 valve mounting flange. They feature an engineered resin enclosure with SS trim. A PPG handwheel is used to rotate the gear-operator 9.5 turns from full open to full closed positions. The position indicator is molded in safety yellow for easy viewing. Two-end of travel adjustment stops fine tune open and closed positions. Weather resistance to IP67 and submersible to 3psi.

Plasgear, the industry's first thermoplastic gear operator is constructed of composite plastic with black urethane coating, the Plasgear will not corrode or rust as a result of exposure to harsh chemicals. Available in sizes from 1-1/2" - 14", the new plastic gear box is ideally suited for use in a broad range of applications such as severe chemicals and sea water.

The Plasgear is submersible. It features a visible PP position indicator, NAMUR mounting dimension that allows for mounting of accessories, plastic PPG reinforced hand wheel, integral grip design that allows for easy operation and adjustable travel stop for both open and close position.
