ITT Pure-Flo integral sterile-barrier valve.
The SB1 sterile-barrier body machines four diaphragm valves into one block: two product valves, a steam-injection valve, and a condensate-drain valve. With the product valves closed, steam can be applied to the chamber between them to create a controlled sterile barrier while keeping the assembly compact and minimizing hold-up.
What ITT Pure-Flo integral sterile-barrier valve is—and where it fits.
The SB1 sterile-barrier body machines four diaphragm valves into one block: two product valves, a steam-injection valve, and a condensate-drain valve. With the product valves closed, steam can be applied to the chamber between them to create a controlled sterile barrier while keeping the assembly compact and minimizing hold-up.
Where it fits
Use SB1 to isolate a bioreactor or another critical process boundary with an actively steamed chamber. The steam source, condensate route, valve sequence, body orientation, drainability, actuation, and interlocks must be reviewed as one system.
What to confirm
Valve size, end connections, orientation, drain angle, material, surface finish, diaphragm material, actuator or bonnet style, and documentation expectations should all be checked before quoting.
How Triplex helps
Triplex helps translate the process problem into a practical ITT body selection so the valve package fits the line, the cleaning method, and the maintenance plan.
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 point | Why it matters | Triplex note |
|---|---|---|
| Process purpose | Shutoff, sample, purge, drain, divert, tank outlet, or aseptic barrier duty changes the correct body geometry. | Start with what the valve has to do in the process, not just the valve size. |
| Cleanability and hold-up | Dead legs, drainability, and internal volume can matter as much as pressure and temperature. | Send sketches or photos when the valve location is part of a skid or vessel connection. |
| Topworks and diaphragm | The body decision should be made with bonnet/actuator and diaphragm material in mind. | Triplex can help pair the body with manual or pneumatic operation and the right diaphragm review. |

Use these documents as a starting point, then confirm final selection against the actual process conditions.
Keep the selection connected to the full ITT valve platform.
