FAQs of Brass Ball Valve:
Q: How is this brass ball valve typically installed?
A: The valve features BSP threaded ends compatible with both BSP and NPT thread standards, allowing it to be screwed or threaded directly into existing pipelines using standard plumbing tools. Installation is straightforward and can be performed without specialized equipment.
Q: What media can be used with this ball valve?
A: This ball valve is suitable for water, oil, and gas applications, making it a versatile choice for plumbing, industrial, and water supply systems. The robust PTFE seals and brass construction ensure reliable performance with these different types of media.
Q: When is the best time to choose a full bore ball valve like this one?
A: Full bore ball valves are selected when minimizing flow restriction is crucial, such as in industrial systems requiring maximum efficiency or plumbing setups where maintaining pressure and flow is important. They are ideal when system flushing or pigging is necessary.
Q: Where can this valve be used most effectively?
A: It is designed for use in a variety of settings including residential plumbing, commercial water supply systems, and industrial processes. Its durable construction and threaded connections make it ideal for both new installations and retrofitting existing pipelines.
Q: What benefits does the PTFE seal material provide?
A: PTFE seals offer excellent chemical resistance and ensure leak-proof operation under high pressure (up to 10 bar working, 16 bar test). They contribute to a long product life, supporting up to 50,000 operating cycles with minimal maintenance.
Q: How does the quarter turn operation enhance usability?
A: Quarter turn operation allows the valve to be fully opened or closed with a simple 90-degree rotation of the handle. This mechanism facilitates fast, easy control and makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent on/off switching.
