Data Sheet
Shut-off diaphragm valve
Type BML and BMT
With and without handwheel
The shut-o diaphragm valves BML and BMT
are designed for installation in the liquid,
suction and hot gas lines of refrigeration
circuits, in order to open and to shut o inner
refrigerant ow path by operating the
handwheel.
BML valves can be delivered with are, ODF
solder or ODF solder with extended ends.
In the same product category, BMT 6 is a threeway manual shut-o valve with similar
characteristics.
Features
• Fitted with three stainless steel diaphragms
that prevent leakage throughout the
operating life of the valve.
• Valve plate of polyamide nylon to give
complete shut-o with minimum torque.
• Valve cover with counter-seat to prevent the
ingress of moisture.

Shut-o diaphragm valve, Types BML and BMT
Design and Materials
Figure 2: Design and Materials
The shut-o diaphragm valves are tted with three diaphragms of stainless steel which ensure long operating life.
BM valves are available in straightway, and threeway versions (BMT). The side connection of the three-way BMT can
be shut o, but the end connections will always remain open. The BM can be tted with a mounting bracket. Valve
body, cover and spindle are made of brass, the handwheel (3) of coloured plastic. BM valves have a triple diaphragm
seal (8) which is designed in such a way that the tension in the diaphragms lift the valve plate from the seat when
the valve is opened.
The sealing ring itself is made of nylon and gives complete shut-o when the handwheel is lightly tightened. The
thrust pad (7) prevents direct contact between spindle (5) and diaphragms (8). This also contributes to increased
valve life. The spring (9) is able to hold the valve open at operating pressures down to -1 bar (pe). The counter-seat
in the cover (6) prevents the ingress of moisture in fully open position. When the valve is opened, the pressure on
the outlet side must not exceed the pressure on the inlet side by more than 1 bar.
