Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| AVCO 6100 Series size & class | 2"-24", ANSI Class 150, 150# lug ends | AVCO Valve — Mining segment page |
| AVCO 6100 Series materials | 304SS, 316SS, or Hastelloy body and shim; Standard, V-Port, or Deflector Cone port; Metal/Buna/EPDM/Neoprene/Viton seats | AVCO Valve — Mining segment page |
| AVCO 6100 Series gate design | Gates polished/lapped on both sides with a machined bevel on the bottom edge specifically to cut through solids | AVCO Valve — Mining segment page |
| Schurco L Series named FGD application | L Series lined slurry pump names FGD applications, Ash Handling, and Coal Preparation explicitly among its typical applications | Schurco Slurry USA — Slurry Pumps |
AVCO's own marketing text references cast iron for the 6100 while its materials list names only 304SS/316SS/Hastelloy — a real discrepancy in AVCO's own copy, worth resolving with the vendor directly before quoting cast iron on this valve.
This is an engineering pairing, not a vendor-stated application — AVCO doesn't name FGD or coal-prep directly, but the 6100's bevelled, polished gate is built to cut through the same solids-laden media the Schurco L Series pump above it is sized for, which is the honest basis for recommending them together.
