Description
The ABS Metric VXE DU Ball Valve - EPDM is a compact, high-performance true union ball valve designed for demanding industrial and process pipework systems. Part of the innovative VXE Easyfit® range, this valve combines robust ABS construction with an advanced installation and maintenance concept that makes it ideal for tight or restricted spaces.
Developed in collaboration with Giugiaro Design, the VXE Easyfit valve features a patented Easyfit system that uses a bevel-gear mechanism to control the rotation of the union nuts during installation. This ensures even tightening, improved joint integrity and reduced installation errors.
The fully unionised design allows the valve body to be removed easily from the pipeline while the unions remain in place, enabling straightforward inspection, maintenance or seal replacement without cutting the pipe. EPDM seals provide excellent performance in water and many industrial fluid applications, while the smooth internal bore ensures very good flow characteristics.
Metric plain ends are designed for solvent welding using ABS solvent cement, ensuring full compatibility with ABS metric pipe and fittings.
