The ABS Metric Lockable VKD DU Ball Valve - EPDM is a high-performance isolation valve designed for demanding industrial and process pipework systems where secure valve positioning is critical. This version of the VKD DualBlock® valve is fitted with a lockable operating handle, allowing the valve to be physically locked in the open or closed position to prevent unauthorised or accidental operation.

Manufactured from durable ABS and fitted with EPDM seals, this valve delivers excellent chemical resistance, long service life and reliable sealing performance. The fully unionised VKD DualBlock® design allows the valve body to be removed easily from the pipeline without cutting the pipe, making inspection, maintenance or seal replacement quick and straightforward.

A key advantage of this valve is the lockable VKD handle, which secures the valve position every 90°. This makes it particularly well suited to safety-critical installations, controlled processes, maintenance isolation points and systems where valve status must not be altered unintentionally.

Metric plain ends are designed for solvent welding using ABS solvent cement, ensuring full compatibility with ABS metric pipe and fittings.
