Description
This bronze ball valve delivers dependable shut-off performance across a broad range of industrial and commercial pipework applications. The body is manufactured from high-quality bronze, providing excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in water, oil, and general service systems. Available in sizes from 1/2" to 2", the valve incorporates a full-bore design that supports unrestricted flow and minimises pressure drop across the fitting.
PTFE sealing provides a tight, leak-free seal throughout the operating pressure and temperature range, while also reducing friction for smooth quarter-turn actuation. The blow-out proof stem offers an additional level of operational safety under high-pressure conditions, preventing stem ejection and ensuring secure performance over the life of the valve. A steel lever handle with vinyl sleeve enables fast, positive operation, and the robust construction makes this valve a reliable choice for both new installations and direct replacement in heating, plumbing, process, and industrial pipework systems.
Typical Applications
Key Features & Benefits
- Full Bore Design: Allows unrestricted flow through the valve body, minimising pressure drop and making it well suited to applications where flow efficiency is a priority.
- Blow-out Proof Stem: Prevents the stem from being ejected under pressure, providing a critical safety feature for high-pressure industrial installations.
- PN40 Pressure Rating: Rated to a maximum of 40 bar, this valve is suitable for demanding applications in both commercial and industrial environments.
- Wide Temperature Range: Performs reliably between -10°C and +140°C, making it appropriate for cold water, hot water, heating, and general service applications.
- High-grade Bronze Construction: ASTM B62 C83600 bronze provides superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, particularly in wet and general service pipework environments.
- PTFE Sealing Components: Deliver a reliable, leak-free seal across the full operating range, while reducing operational friction for smooth and consistent quarter-turn performance.
