Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Type-57 LIS materials | PVC body; disc in PVC, CPVC, PP, or PVDF; seat/seal in EPDM, FKM, or Nitrile; stem in 316SS, Titanium, or Hastelloy C | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Type-57 LIS pressure/temp | 150 psi @ 70°F | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Family named process chemistries | Wet chlorine, plating solutions, acidic waste, oxidizers, caustics, solvents, halogens | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
'Plating solutions' is a named process chemistry for this exact family, and the Titanium or Hastelloy C stem option exists because standard 316SS is the part of a plating-bath valve that fails first — the wetted disc material gets the attention, but the stem alloy is the real spec decision on a chrome or cyanide plating line.
