Ball Valves Index Page -- Overview and links to all ball valves, actuators, and accessories. Possibly the page you were on prior to this one.
Series EBV -- Actuated Ball Valves -- Electrically powered actuators for 2-way and 3-way ball valves, all sizes. Features Standard Manual Override.
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."
Series TMBV -- 3-Way Manual Ball Valves offering all of the features found in the 2-Way valves above. Offered in PVC and CPVC.
Series TEBV -- Electrically Actuated Ball Valves 3-Way Electrically-Actuated Ball Valves, for installations where compressed air or hydraulic power is not available or practical.
Series TABV & TABR -- Actuated Ball Valves -- Explanatory page for pneumatically or hydraulically actuated 3-way ball valves, all sizes. For actuator specifications, use the above links for the appropriate size.
Series LMBV -- Lateral Reducing Ball Valve -- Explanatory page for lateral reducing ball valves which simplify lateral connections.
Series Z-Vent MBV -- Vented Ball Valve for Sodium Hypochlorite -- Vented ball valve for sodium hypochlorite and other applications prone to outgassing.
Series LS -- Limit Stops -- For use with actuated ball valves.
Series SW -- Limit Switches -- For use with actuated ball valves.
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.
