Description
This valve is designed for applications requiring reliable, automated isolation combined with high levels of safety and durability. By pairing Georg Fischer’s premium Type 546 Pro valve body with a robust Prisma pneumatic actuator, this assembly delivers dependable performance in industrial and commercial pipework systems, including safety-critical environments.
The Georg Fischer PVCu DU Ball Valve is fitted with EPDM body seals and PTFE ball seals, providing smooth, low-torque operation and excellent chemical resistance. Solvent weld union ends allow secure installation into PVCu pipework using solvent cement, while still enabling the valve to be fully demounted for maintenance or replacement. With a PN16 pressure rating and WRAS approval, the valve is suitable for potable water and regulated applications.
The Prisma Pneumatic Actuator features a lightweight, corrosion-resistant design with a fully protective IP67 housing and is approved to SIL3 and ATEX standards. Spring return operation provides a defined fail-safe position on loss of air supply, while double-acting variants are available on request. Designed specifically for use with thermoplastic valves, the actuator is silicone-free and can be fitted with a wide range of control and feedback accessories, including solenoid valves, positioners and limit switches.
This product is delivered fully assembled, made up from the following parts:
- 1x Georg Fischer PVCu DU Ball Valve EPDM
- 1x Prisma Pneumatic Actuator
- 1x Georg Fischer 546 EasyFit Mounting Kit
