Manual Ball Valves in PVC, CPVC, PVDF & Polypro

Known worldwide as the Engineered Ball Valve

Design Advantages:

Heavy-duty, large diameter shaft eliminates stem breaks.
Double shaft O-rings.
PTFE shaft bearing eliminates friction and wear.
PTFE seats backed up with O-rings reduce the wear and tear of repeated cycling.
Trunnion Design: Upper and lower supports retain ball under pressure. Trunnion design allows multi-directional flow; means that the valve is in no danger of being installed "backwards."
Concentric machined and mirror-polished ball.
Dual sliding seats use triple O-rings for balance and maximum leak protection.
Smooth flow path eliminates pressure loss.
True union ends for ease of piping and removal.

Series ABV -- Actuated Ball Valves -- Pneumatically or hydraulically powered actuators for 2-way and 3-way ball valves, sizes 1/2", 3/4", and 1". Air x air and "fail safe" air x spring models available; converts easily between types. Manual override standard.

Series ABR -- Actuated Ball Valves -- Pneumatically or hydraulically powered actuators for 2-way and 3-way ball valves, sizes 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2". Air x Air and "fail safe" Air x Spring models available. Manual override standard on air x air, optional on air x spring version. Air x spring converts easily between fail safe "open" and fail safe "closed."

Air-Operated Diaphragm Valves and Globe Valves- Perhaps your application requires more rapid shut-off, or you want to use line pressure to open the valve, or have other reasons you don't specifically want a ball valve. If so, True Blue ASO, BSD, or BSR is likely to meet your needs.

Online Pressure Drop Calculator -- Allows you to easily determine the probable pressure drop across a valve. Note: For comparison and illustrative purposes only; not to be relied on for system design.
