Single Seat Valves & Double Seat Valves
Alfa Laval’s range of single seat valves consists of large numbers of purpose-designed valve units that are very robust and flexible. They are ideal for use in processes with a high hygiene standard.
On the other hand, double seat valve concept provides modular solutions that are easily tailored to any specific requirement. The double seat design provides long-lasting, spillage-free operation thus minimizing the risk of product contamination. The use of double lip seals provides added protection to ensure safe and hygienic operation.

Tri-Clover® 736 Swap Valve
Do you have Tri-Clover® 361 valves in your facility? If you’re ready for newer technology, but not able to make the change to a new valve body, ABS offers the Tri-Clover 736 “swap” valve from Alfa Laval may be the solution. The 736 valve was designed specifically to bridge the gap when an older 361 valve fails, but a complete valve upgrade isn’t feasible. Since the swap valve consists of a complete 761 style valve, installation is quick and easy, with no cutting or welding required.
The 736 valve provides the same reliable, sanitary, and flexible design you expect from any of Alfa Laval’s 700 series valves. A variety of options allow you to customize the valve to your system’s needs. Even if you’re not ready for a complete overhaul of your system, you can still look forward to many more years of reliable performance to your valves with the 736 valve.

Application
The 736 valve is used to convert existing welded-in Tri-Clover 361 series shut off valves into a version of the Tri-Clover 700 series valve. This conversion provides an upgrade to all features and benefits of the Tri-Clover 700 series, without cutting or welding.
Working Principle
The valve is remote-controlled by means of compressed air. It has few and simple movable parts, contributing to a very reliable valve.
Standard Design
Like all 700 series valves, the 736 valve is designed to deliver years of reliable performance. Utilizing a specially designed bonnet, it’s easy to replace existing 300 series shut-off valves:
1. Remove the body-bonnet clamp
2. Pull the 300 series components (from stem to the actuator) out of the existing 300 series valve body
2. Replace with the 736 swap valve and gasket
4. Reattach with the provided body-bonnet clamp
The 736 valve design utilizes all 761 valve spares and features including ThinkTop and GreenTop indication units, TR2, and LP elastomer stems, with high-pressure and “sealed-for-life” reversible actuators.
Actuator Function
- Pneumatic downward movement, spring return (NO)
- Pneumatic upward movement, spring return (NC)
- Pneumatic upward and downward movement (A/A)
- Actuator for intermediate position of the valve plug as option
