A limit switch box is mounted on and coupled to the actuator in order to operate position-indicating lights on control panels, to control other equipment such as pumps, compressors and mixers, to sequence other valves, or for feedback and PLC position confirmation. Two single-pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are mounted in one enclosure and are activated by individual, adjustable cams. The cams are connected to the cam shaft, which is direct coupled to the actuator shaft. Switches can be set to be activated in fully open or closed positions, or in any position in the quadrant of the actuator’s operation. The limit switch box is available in Type 4X and Type 7 enclosures, and switches can be supplied in mechanical or proximity models. The electrical rating of the standard mechanical switches is 15 amps at 250 VAC, which qualifies them for the following voltages: 12 and 24 VDC, 12, 24 and 115 VAC.

When a ball valve is closed, product is trapped in the cavity of the ball. If that product off-gasses, it will build up pressure in the cavity area which could lead to a failure or other hazardous conditions. A vented ball is a ball that has been factory-drilled on one side to relieve the potential for pressure buildup in the ball cavity.
Ideal Applications Include:
Bleach, Sodium hypochlorite
*For use with ½” – 4″ Type-21/21a ball valves

Stem extensions are valve handle extensions, designed for use on valves located areas where standard configuration valve handles are inaccessible. They provide a direct connection between the actual valve stem and the relocated valve handle. Single piece stem extensions attach direct to the valve stem and the moving stem is exposed. Two-piece stem extensions consist of not only the single piece stem extension, but are also provided with an outer housing. The outer housing acts an outer sleeve which fits over the inner stem extension protecting the moving inner stem extension in buried applications. Support brackets and plates are typically used with both types of extensions. They provide a strong anchoring point for heavy gear-operators on butterfly valves, or prevent lateral movement on single piece lever handle extensions.
Type-21/21a Ball Valve Stem Extension Kit Option (1/2″ – 2″)
The Type-21/21a ball valve stem extension kits are the ideal solution for accessing valves that are installed in out of reach locations. Machined from PVC bar stock to exact specifications, for a factory fit and finish. Available for valves 1/2” – 2”, extension kits are supplied ready to be assembled and installed using your existing or a new Type-21 ball valve, and Schedule 40/80 PVC pipe. Cut your pipe to the desired length, solvent cement to the extension couplings, and install on the valve for a simple and effective stem extension.
