The West Group has been established as a leading manufacturer and supplier of fluid power
equipment for over thirty five years.
The companies reputation has grown from the many innovative products designed and
manufactured to satisfy a worldwide customer base from a variety of industries.
This catalogue features our versatile pinch valves which provide an inexpensive solution to
the control of liquids, steam, acids, foodstuffs and dry flowables.
These normally open, lightweight, corrosion resistant valves provide an unobstructed
turbulent free flow passage.
Positive shut-off is achieved by applying an air or liquid pressure to the threaded pilot
connection of these normally open valves.
Five body materials are available as standard, each capable of being fitted with six differing
sleeve materials compatible with the media being used (see rear page).
