Changeover Valve / Selector Valve
SchuF Changeover Valves have been in reliable service in several industries over the past 40 years. Their main use is with dual-safety relief valves.

Changeover Valve Applications
Changeover valves are switchover valves, switching flow from one pipeline to another. They are sometimes referred to as “selector” valves. Changeover valves are well suited to applications where mandatory pressure relief devices (rupture discs and relief valves) are installed as dual devices. The design of the changeover valve ensures that at least one of the two pressure relief devices is always in service and full relief flow is guaranteed during changeover. They are also widely used in Plastic and Polymer, Offshore, and Refining industries to handle process media.
Other applications include:
# switching from one production line to another,
# selecting to and from dual filtration systems,
# selecting to and from multiple heat exchangers,
# proportioning between two sources or terminals, refluxing or dumping, or manifolding where total shutoff of media flow is dangerous, offensive, or produces process stoppage
