Notes from the vendor documentation
Chemical is a named 6100 industry. The Hastelloy body/shim option is the real chemical-service escalation path and one of very few Hastelloy-bodied valve options anywhere in the corpus.

Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| 6100 Series chemical-service option | Hastelloy body/shim option — one of very few Hastelloy-bodied valve options in this catalog | AVCO Valve — Mining segment page |
| 6100 Series seat materials | Viton or EPDM seats among the available options | AVCO Valve — Mining segment page |
The Hastelloy body/shim option is the real chemical-service escalation path on this valve — most knife gate valves in this catalog top out at 316SS, so a corrosive chemical stream that eats 316SS has an actual upgrade path here instead of a dead end.
Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
