Figure 500 Closure
|
Horizontal
Hinged Closure
- Used for horizontal applications in scraper traps, large
O.D. filter units, launchers and receivers
- Distinct advantages:
- All sizes 6" and larger utilize center mounted hinge
therefore, the swing direction does not have to be
predetermined
- Bearings and bushings on larger sizes for ease of
operation
- In the event the seal is broken by the operator, under
pressure, 90% of the rugged acme thread engagement still
remains

Vertical Hinged Closure
-
Used for "vertical" applications on
strainers, filters, vertical blow down risers and vertical
launcher traps.
-
The cap pin is threaded with the same thread
as the closure, eliminating excessive friction during opening
-
All sizes 6" thru 48" require only
one operator
