The ABS VKD Ball Valve is a high-performance, fully unionised valve designed to provide long-lasting reliability even in demanding industrial settings. Constructed from durable ABS and fitted with EPDM seals, it delivers excellent resistance to corrosion, impact and many diluted chemical media. With plain ends that solvent weld directly into an ABS pipeline, the valve offers a strong, permanent installation while maintaining the ability to remove the valve body for servicing thanks to its union design.

A standout feature of the VKD range is the DualBlock system, which prevents the union nuts from loosening under vibration, temperature changes or heavy-duty cycling. Equally advanced is the Seat Stop ball seat carrier, allowing precise micro-adjustment of the ball seats and compensation for axial loads - all without draining the pipeline or disassembling the entire system.

The ergonomically designed VKD handle incorporates a removable tool for adjusting the ball seat, making routine maintenance fast and convenient.

Together, these features make the VKD one of the most versatile and robust ABS valves available for industrial and commercial pipework.
