The Hex HB52 Bleed Tee is ideal for modernizing outdated, non-bleed gauge installations. During instrument maintenance, simply thread the HB52 into the outlet of an existing block valve. An instrument is then threaded into the HB52 outlet to complete the installation. A second 1/2" side outlet accommodates a gauge or tube fitting for a remote auxiliary instrument. Bleed-off is simple - a turn of the handle directs flow through the discharge tube.

For more critical services, the HB59 Integral Block and Bleed Valve combines a fully packed backseated block valve and a fully packed backseated bleed valve into a single, streamlined assembly that minimizes threaded connections. A major benefit of this design is that, while minimizing connections, cost and installation time are also reduced. A 1/2" FNPT adapter can accommodate a tube fitting for remote removal of bleed waste. The HB59 is typically used on applications where waste must be returned to the line or holding vessel, as is common with hazardous media or EPA-targeted hydrocarbons.

Other manufacturer's generally supply 1/2" NPT female process connections and usually include a block and bleed valve with each instrument. This usually requires a 1/2" stainless steel close nipple with each gauge pressure transmitter to accommodate the typical block and bleed valve's female outlet. The HG35 configuration provides one less threaded connection by utilizing a male outlet for direction connection into a gauge pressure transmitter.

A quick, inexpensive and compact means of installing gauges and static pressure instrumentation. Can be supplied with a bleed valve or needle valve threaded into one of the outlets to allow for combined block & bleed functions in a single, compact unit.
