Description
Single union ball valves are commonly used as end-of-line isolation valves and are often referred to as dump valves. Featuring one demountable union connection, they are best suited to termination points rather than installation within a continuous pipeline, as removal for maintenance or replacement would otherwise require disturbance to the pipework.
Manufactured from PVCu, these valves offer good chemical resistance and long service life across a wide range of industrial and commercial fluid handling applications. The valve is supplied with threaded ends, allowing for straightforward connection to compatible threaded pipework and fittings, while the union end enables easier disassembly where required.
An ergonomically designed teardrop handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing smooth operation and a clear visual indication of valve position. As part of the economy range, these valves are batch tested on a 1 in 1000 basis, making them a cost-effective solution where full individual testing is not essential.
