DILO Self Sealing Valves and Couplings

DILO’S INNOVATIVE SELF-SEALING PRINCIPLE

DILO's self-sealing valves and couplings allow a connection to be made by simply screwing two coupling parts together. DILO's innovation revolutionized the fitting industry by providing a more reliable alternative to rubber o-rings to create a seal. Prior to the closing of metal to metal seal, the pressure and vacuum tight coupling is sealed on the inside by means of an O-ring. When the coupling are loosened, the same O-ring prevents gas loss whilst the self-sealing valves close.

In conclusion, the DILO self-sealing principle prevents the loss of SF6 gas and inhibits moisture from penetrating the SF6 gas system. DILO's valves and couplings will eliminate the loss of SF6 gas by incorrect gas handling. Thanks to their reliability, quality, and durability, DILO valves and couplings are the world's most widely used connecting system for SF6 switchgear.
