Calibration Valve With Built-In Test Port

Calibration valve includes built-in test port for calibrating control-panel gauges in place, without having to remove them for calibration. Use of this valve reduces number of plumbing parts and thus number of potential leakage points. Application of calibration valve saves time when calibrating control-panel gauges or transducers and prevents damage or loss of instruments by not having to remove them from control panel for calibration.
