Cast Iron Flanged Ball valve

Cast Iron Flanged Ball valve

A ball valve is a valve with a spherical disc, the part of the valve which controls the flow through it. The sphere has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. The handle or lever will be inline with the port position letting you "see" the valve's position. The ball valve, along with the butterfly valve and plug valve, are part of the family of quarter turn valves. Ball valves are used extensively in industry because they are very versatile, supporting pressures up to 700 bars and temperatures up to 200°C. Sizes typically range from 0.5 cm to 30 cm. They are easy to repair and operate.

Cast Iron Flanged Ball Valve is used in commercial, industrial, and process applications. It features a stainless steel ball and stem, PTFE seats and packing, cast iron gear operator, and a ductile iron handwheel. Series G4000 has quarter turn operation and positive shutoff. Cast iron flanged ball valve is an ideal replacement for IBBM gate valves or plug valves. With their full port design, these valves assure an unobstructed, turbulence-free flow that gate and butterfly valves can’t match. The low-profile handle makes it installation easy even in tight areas. The quarter-turn lever offers positive shutoff with no leakage.
