Description
Single union ball valves are commonly used as end-of-line isolation valves and are often referred to as dump valves. Due to having only one demountable union connection, they are best suited to termination points rather than installation within a continuous pipeline, where full removal would be required for maintenance or repair.
Manufactured from PVCu, these valves offer good chemical resistance and long service life in a wide range of industrial and commercial fluid handling applications. The plain ended spigot connections are designed for solvent welding, providing a secure and permanent joint when installed correctly.
An ergonomically designed teardrop handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing smooth operation and a clear visual indication of valve position. As an economy valve, this product is batch tested every 1 in 1000, making it a cost-effective solution where full individual testing is not required.
