Manual SS All-Metal Leak Valves (CF flanged): MD5 Series

Kurt J. Lesker Bakeable leak valves are used to control the flow of gas into a vacuum system from an external source. A soft metal pad is compressed against a harder metal seat, creating the necessary seal for precise gas flow control.

• Available in two different series
• Each series utilizes different types of sealing materials tailored for specific applications
• Typical applications include argon processing, sputtering, system purging, precision gas control, and laser back-filling
