Short HVE Valve

Short plastic lever style high volume evacuator (HVE) valve with variable on/off vacuum control and 360° swivel base connector.

Autoclavable aluminum valve is easily disassembled for cleaning, but should not be cleaned by sonic methods.

Installation Instructions (PDF):

1. Turn off vacuum.
2. Cut existing valve from tubing.
3. Attach the valve to the tubing by inserting the barbed base into your tubing. Dipping the end of your tubing in hot water will make it easier to slide over the barb.

The aluminum construction of the Short HVE Valve is not a marketing detail — it determines how the product holds up through daily sterilization and clinical use. The aluminum build handles repeated autoclave cycling without dimensional change, and autoclavable aluminum valve is easily disassembled for cleaning, but should not be cleaned by sonic methods. Within the evacuation category, this product competes on specifications and exact-fit reliability rather than price alone.
