Approval for 1330/1622 Oxygen Cleaning

Kennett Square, PA, USA (8/23/22) – Admiral Valve, LLC dba CPV Manufacturing Recently Approved for 1330/1622 Oxygen Cleaning

CPV Manufacturing’s aqueous component cleaning process was recently approved by NAVSEA for MIL-STD-1330D and MIL-STD-1622B cleaning. With the approval for 1330/1622 Oxygen Cleaning, CPV will now be able to better meet the needs of the U.S. Navy and other applications requiring intensive cleaning standards.

This approval gives CPV the ability to clean valve components, produce and test finished assembled valves, and package shipments meeting 1330/1622 standards without materials leaving its facility prior to the final shipment. This will allow for greater in-house efficiency, decreased lead times and easier product traceability. Below are the standards listed in full.

  • MIL-STD-1330D Department of Defense Standard Practice, Precision Cleaning and Testing of Shipboard Oxygen, Helium, Helium-Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen Systems
  • MIL-STD-1622B Department of Defense Standard Practice, Cleaning of Shipboard Compressed Air Systems.

This is an exponential step in the growth of CPV and President and CEO, David London is ecstatic. “Attaining this high-level certification attests to our strong commitment to our customers and the production of high-quality, safe products. We have been working towards this approval for quite some time and have made significant investments into our facilities and personnel in preparation for this new standard.”

CPV’s cleanroom was expanded in 2021 and Certified to meet ISO 14644 Class 7 standards. Employees have been trained and certified as Oxygen Clean Workers and validated to meet MIL-STD-1330D standards. This further enhances CPV’s cleaning program which already meets:

  • CGA G-4.1-2018 – Cleaning of Equipment for Oxygen Service and ASTM G93
  • ASTM G93/G93M-19 – Cleanliness Levels and Cleaning Methods for Materials and Equipment Used in Oxygen-Enriched Environments

        

And CPV isn’t stopping there. CPV promises to continue to invest in its facility, employees, and equipment to provide best-in-class service and products to ends users in every application possible. CPV is proud to finally say we are certified for MIL-STD-1330D and MIL-STD-1622B Oxygen Cleaning and is looking forward to the next challenge they can accomplish for their customers.

New Ergonomic Valve Handles

Kennett Square, PA, USA (4/11/22) – Admiral Valve, LLC dba CPV Manufacturing Launches the Next Generation of Ergonomic Handles

CPV Manufacturing has reimagined the design of its O-SEAL® and G-Series® valve handles to deliver unparalled efficiency to operations in piping systems. CPV is delighted to finally introduce the new, functional, ERGONOMIC handles to customers worldwide.

 

The next generation of handles provide less hand discomfort and easy operation to workers that maintain CPV valves on a regular basis. These innovative handles will now be included with the purchase of the full-size range of CPV O-SEAL® and G-Series product lines, in place of the old handles.

CPV’s Next Generation of handles are better, safer, and more dependable than the previous handles in every single way. With a sleek design, the new handles are made with an anti-slip material and utilize smooth edges, allowing for a better grip. This makes operating the valves that much easier. The handles are available in 4-Prong and 2-Prong configurations to suit specific valve sizes.

CPV manufacturing is 100% confident that these handles will provide lasting value to not only future customers who will purchase O-Seal® and G-Series® valves with the new handle, but also to previous customers. CPV is offering the opportunity for existing customers, who currently employ these valves in service, to switch out their old valve handles with the next generation.

For a minimal cost, CPV will send a replacement kit, fit for certain specifications, that includes an installation tool, hex nut, cap, snap ring, and an aluminum handle. Using the kit, customers will be able to replace their old handles in less than a minute and reap the benefits of the replacement for the entire lifespan of CPV valves (30+ years)!

To view how simple the installation/removal process is, CPV has created an in-depth YouTube tutorial to watch, here and an instructional blog to read, here.

If you have any questions or wish to order a handle replacement kit, contact CPV today at Sales@cpvmfg.com.

Installation and Removal of CPV’s New Handles

The process of installing and removing our new ergonomic valve handles for the full-size range of O-SEAL® and G-Series® product lines is so simple it can be done in under a minute! The ease of installation can be seen below in the step by step tutorial.

This specific bulletin shows the installation of a 4-prong valve handle; however, the same steps apply to our 2-prong valve handles. The only difference is and additional step due to an extra washer in the replacement kit, also shown below. During installation and removal of a 2-prong handle, the extra step would occur after step 2 for both.

Installation and Removal of CPV's New Handles

 

For extra guidance, we have listed all the removal steps below and made an in-depth YouTube tutorial showing just how simple the installation and removal of our new valve handles really are!

Removal Steps:

Step 1: Using the Handle Installation Tool, pick out one end of the Snap Ring and lift it out of the groove. Be sure to place your hand over the ring to keep it from flying away and becoming lost.

Step 2: Remove the Cap covering the Hex Nut.

Step 3: Remove the Hex Nut with a Socket Wrench. The handle should then come right off the valve.
