Description
Right-angle valve VA 16 ME is an electromagnetically operated stainless-steel shut-off valve with DN 16 KF connection for laboratory and technical vacuum systems. It is designed for isolation duties where remote or automated control is preferred over manual actuation. The valve accepts a wide supply range of 80–250 V at 50/60 Hz, simplifying integration into existing mains-powered control circuits without additional transformers. Its right-angle body geometry supports compact manifold and line layouts, while the KF flange interface enables quick coupling to standard vacuum components. Offered as a single piece from manufacturer WELCH, the VA 16 ME combines electromagnetic drive with robust stainless-steel construction for routine laboratory service. Suitable as an isolation or stop valve in research, analytical and process vacuum setups, it provides controlled opening and closing under electromagnetic actuation. The DN 16 KF ports match common small-bore vacuum hardware, helping maintain clear flow paths in KF-based installations. This configuration is intended for users who need a compact, electromagnetically operated right-angle valve with stainless-steel wetted parts and broad voltage compatibility.

Questions about Right-Angle Valve VA 16 ME, Electromagnetically Operated, 80-250V, 50/60Hz, Stai
What is this article?
Right-Angle Valve VA 16 ME, Electromagnetically Operated, 80-250V, 50/60Hz, Stai is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes WELCH for laboratory use. It sits in Stopcocks & valves, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A stopcock opens and closes a line, or directs it between ports. Glass stopcocks have a ground plug that needs grease or a PTFE key. The bore decides the flow. A two-way and a three-way key are different parts.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
