ITT Manual bonnets and topworks

ITT Pure-Flo Bio-Tek fractional manual bonnet.

The Bio-Tek manual bonnet is a compact stainless topworks for Bio-Tek 0.25, 0.375, and 0.5 inch bodies. It is commonly used as a manual sample or drain valve in pharmaceutical systems and Pure-Flo fabrications, with an adjustable travel stop and autoclavable construction.

Where it fits

Where it fits

Use it only with compatible Bio-Tek bodies for fractional sample, drain, and low-flow duties. Confirm body size, Model 18 versus sealed 18S, diaphragm, service pressure and temperature, autoclave protocol, and operator clearance.

What to confirm

What to confirm

Confirm the compatible valve body and size, diaphragm and compressor connection, pressure and temperature, washdown or autoclave conditions, sealed-bonnet or travel-stop options, and operator access.

How Triplex helps

How Triplex helps

Triplex helps keep the actuator conversation tied to the complete valve package so the hardware works in the plant, not just on a datasheet.

02 - Selection

What Triplex will want to know.

Good valve recommendations come from process context. A few details up front prevent a lot of expensive back-and-forth later.

Selection pointWhy it mattersTriplex note
Manual or automated operationManual bonnets, pneumatic actuators, and stainless actuator options solve different plant realities.Confirm who operates the valve and how often it cycles.
Fail position and forceActuator sizing depends on valve size, diaphragm, process pressure, and fail-open/fail-closed expectations.Do not size the actuator from the actuator name alone.
Controls and environmentFeedback, solenoids, washdown exposure, and service access can determine the best topworks package.Triplex can help coordinate actuator, switch package, and documentation needs.
03 - Resources

Manufacturer literature and related Triplex resources.

Use these documents as a starting point, then confirm final selection against the actual process conditions.

04 - Related

Keep the selection connected to the full ITT valve platform.
