Danfoss 148B0084 SNV-ST Gauge Stop Needle Valve, G 1/2 A

Description

SNV-ST: a steel stop needle valve for gauges and instruments

The 148B0084 is an SNV-ST stop needle valve (also called a gauge valve) with G 1/2 A external threads to ISO 228-1 at both ends and a steel body. A needle seat gives tight shut-off and fine control in a small bore, and the angleway body carries a cap. Net weight is 0.39 kg.

The ratings are a maximum working pressure of 140 bar (2030 psig) and a temperature range of -60 to 150 C. The valve is bi-flow, carries EAC, TUV and UA approvals and is part of the SNV family with its own accessories and spare parts. The page lists 148B3880 as an identical product.

Gauge isolation and instrument connections

In a refrigeration plant the SNV isolates pressure gauges, transmitters, pressure switches and sampling points from the process. The 140 bar rating is far higher than the 52 bar of the plant valves, so it never limits an instrument branch. The G 1/2 A thread matches many gauge and transmitter connections.

The ST version has the standard steel construction; the SS version is stainless with NPT threads (a separate code). The needle stem can also throttle a small bypass, for example to dampen pulsation in front of a gauge. Because the valve is bi-flow, it does not matter which end is connected to the process, which simplifies the installation of gauge manifolds.

Installation and ordering checks

Seal the G threads with a flat-faced seal or a bonded washer as shown in the installation guide; do not use thread tape on the sealing face. Support the instrument weight so that the valve is not bent. Close the valve by hand and re-open slowly to avoid pressure shocks on the instrument.

Confirm the thread (G 1/2 A here), the material (steel) and the pressure class before ordering. The data sheet for SNV-ST / SNV-SS gives dimensions and weights.

Treat the valve as an isolating device only for instruments; do not use it for continuous throttling of process flow, and replace the cap after each use so that the thread and the needle seat stay clean.

About brand

Danfoss is the Danish engineering group that makes refrigeration and air-conditioning controls, heating components, variable speed drives and mobile hydraulics. Mads Clausen founded it on 1 September 1933 at his parents' farm in Nordborg on the island of Als, after making his first refrigeration expansion valve in 1932. Nordborg is still the group's headquarters, and Danfoss remains controlled by the Clausen family through the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation.

Danfoss company profile

Milestones

  • 1932–1933: First expansion valve; the company is founded in Nordborg.
  • 1939: 26 employees. By the 10th anniversary in 1943 the company has 179.
  • 1950s: Rapid growth turns Nordborg into a Danfoss town with housing and schools for its workforce.
  • 1968: Danfoss launches its VLT frequency converter, one of the first mass-produced AC drives.
  • 2014: Acquisition of the Finnish drives maker Vacon, now the VACON brand.
  • 2021: Acquisition of Eaton's hydraulics business.

Choosing Danfoss products

For solenoid valves, check the operating principle. A direct-operated valve such as EV210B opens even at 0 bar differential pressure. A servo-operated valve such as EV220B needs a minimum differential (typically about 0.3 bar) to open, while an assisted-lift valve such as EV250B works from 0 bar. Coils are ordered separately, so the voltage on the coil (for example 230 V AC or 24 V DC) must match the control circuit. For drives, the VLT family is split by application: FC 51 Micro Drive for small machines, FC 102 HVAC Drive for fans and pumps in buildings, FC 202 AQUA Drive for water, and FC 302 AutomationDrive for demanding industrial duty.

Where Danfoss products are used

In Oman and the GCC, Danfoss drives run pumps, fans and compressors in district cooling plants, water and wastewater stations, desalination and building HVAC. Danfoss pressure switches, transmitters and solenoid valves are built into chillers, refrigeration plants, boilers and hydraulic systems, and AB-QM valves balance chilled-water circuits in large buildings.

Ordering Danfoss products: what we need

Send the Danfoss code number from the label (for example 032U7115 or 131B0149) or the full drive type code (FC-302P3K0T5...). For drives, add the motor power, supply voltage and any fieldbus option. For valves, add the size, connection, medium and coil voltage. For pressure switches and transmitters, add the range, output and pressure connection.
