Description

Ball valves perform a quarter turn on/off or modulating function. A flow-controlling ball located within the body of the valve contains a hole through its center along one axis, which connects the inlet and outlet ports of the body. The ball itself is held in place by, and rotates 90º within, PTFE seats.

Features and Benefits

  • Pressure rated up to 230 psi (PVC, CPVC, PVDF)
  • Double O-ring seals on stem for an added protection
  • Full bore, sizes ½" – 2"
  • Full vacuum-rated, all sizes
  • Blocks in two directions, upstream and downstream, leaving full pressure on the opposite end of the valve
  • Integrally molded ISO mounting pad for both manual and actuated operations
  • Integrally molded base pad to mount valves securely, or panel mounting  
  • PTFE seats with elastomeric backing cushions ensure bubble-tight shut-off and a low fixed torque, while at the same time compensating for wear 
  • True union design for easier installation or repairs without expanding the pipe system
  • Built-in spanner wrench on the handle for valve disassembly and assembly
  • Two sets of end connectors (socket and threaded) included with all PVC and CPVC valves in sizes ½"– 2"
  • CPVC threaded end connectors on sizes ½" – 1" come with stainless steel reinforcing rings
  • NSF-61 certified. Sizes: ½" - 4"; material: PVC, EPDM, FKM
