Description
This Durapipe T-port ball valve features the patented DualBlock locking system, which securely retains the union nuts even in installations subject to vibration, pressure fluctuations or thermal expansion. This greatly reduces the risk of loosening over time and enhances long-term system integrity.
The valve is also equipped with the Seat Stop ball seat carrier, allowing precise micro-adjustment of the ball seats and compensation for axial pipe loads - all without draining the system. This makes maintenance faster, cleaner and significantly more cost-effective.
An ergonomically designed VKD-style handle includes a removable adjustment tool, enabling easy seat and union nut adjustments directly on site.
