Description
Safety valve OPV 16, aluminium, DN 16 KF is a laboratory vacuum accessory intended for systems that use small-flange KF connections. This safety valve combines an aluminium body with a DN 16 KF interface, allowing mounting on compatible vacuum pumps, manifolds and line assemblies that share the same flange size. The OPV 16 model designation identifies the unit within the vacuum component range, while the aluminium construction provides a lightweight option for bench and system installation. Supplied as one piece, the valve serves as an accessory or replacement part for laboratory equipment requiring a safety valve at DN 16 KF. From manufacturer WELCH, the OPV 16 fits laboratories working with standard KF vacuum hardware in analytical, research and quality-control settings. Its clear specification—aluminium material and DN 16 KF flange—simplifies selection when matching spare parts to existing vacuum setups. The component supports routine maintenance and system configuration wherever a dedicated safety valve of this flange size is needed.
This article is part of Stopcocks & valves, in Tubing, hoses & fittings.

Questions about Safety Valve OPV 16, Aluminium, DN 16 KF
What is this article?
Safety Valve OPV 16, Aluminium, DN 16 KF 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.
