Description
This fully unionised PVCu ball valve is engineered for demanding industrial and commercial pipework systems where reliability, serviceability and long-term performance are critical. The robust design allows the valve body to be removed from the pipeline without disturbing the solvent-welded connections, making maintenance and seal replacement quick and straightforward.
A patented DualBlock locking system secures the union nuts in position, even in installations subject to vibration, pressure fluctuation or thermal expansion. When closed, the downstream pipeline can be safely disconnected without leakage, reducing downtime and improving safety during servicing.
The integrated Seat Stop system enables precise micro-adjustment of the ball seats to compensate for wear or axial pipe loads, all without draining the system. An ergonomically designed VKD-style handle provides smooth quarter-turn operation, with a removable tool built in for ball seat adjustment. Larger diameter sizes are supplied with an enlarged handle to maintain positive operation on higher flow systems.
