ABS Valves

Effast ABS valves provide high-performance flow control for industrial thermoplastic systems. Manufactured from durable acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), these valves are ideal for use in low-temperature and chemically aggressive environments. Available in sizes from ½″ to 8″, the Effast ABS valve range includes ball, check, diaphragm, and actuated options—all engineered for long-lasting service life and consistent pressure performance. These valves are WRAS approved and BSI Kite Mark certified where applicable, making them suitable for potable water, process systems, and plant installations.

• Preparation: Ensure pipe ends and valve sockets are clean, square-cut, and chamfered (30°–40°). Lightly abrade surfaces with emery cloth to remove the glossy finish.
• Cleaning: Use MEK Cleaner and a lint-free cloth to clean both surfaces thoroughly. Allow cleaned surfaces to dry before applying solvent cement.
• Jointing: Apply ABS solvent cement with a clean brush to both the pipe and valve socket. Quickly insert the pipe into the valve fitting, twist slightly, and hold firmly in place. Remove excess cement and leave the joint undisturbed for 10–15 minutes.
• Curing: Allow a minimum of 8 hours for pressure strength; ideally, leave 24 hours before testing. Pressure test the system at 1.5 times the rated working pressure after curing.
• Final Checks: Ensure that valve handles or actuators operate smoothly. Independently support large valves to prevent mechanical stress on the pipe.
• Note: Do not use sealing pastes, and avoid installing in wet or poorly ventilated areas.
