Ball Valve

Part Number:
Designed and made in New Zealand for use in marine applications above and below the water line, our Ball Valves comply to IMCI to ISO standard 9093-2 and are ideal for controlling inlet and outlet water requirements. The body of the Ball Valve is manufactured in glass reinforced nylon composite with high impact and tensile strength resulting in a lightweight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis issues. The ball and sealing rings utilise a PTFE polymer to ensure a smooth action, and continuous ease of operation over many years. The Ball Valve is available in BSP thread forms and can be locked in the closed position for use on toilet waste outlets.

Features:
  • Glass reinforced nylon composite construction - light weight and high strength
  • Corrosion resistance - long life, minimal maintenance
  • Electrically non-conductive - no electrical bonding, suitable for use on all hull types - aluminium, steel, wood or FRP hulls
  • UV resistant - will not break down in the sun
  • Large operating temperature range: -40° to 80°C (-40° to 176°F)
  • PTFE enhanced sealing and sliding elements - reduced friction for easy operation, reduction in blockages due to fouling
  • High quality - Quality materials from accredited suppliers, standards approved through IMCI to ISO standard 9093-2, every Ball Valve is leak tested during manufacture
  • Removeable handle - aids installation in confined spaces. A T handle for smaller spaces is also available
  • Weight - 300g / 10.6oz (138600, 138602, 138604)
  • Weight - 450g / 15.9oz (138605, 138606)
  • Weight - 700g / 24.7oz 138607

    The connecting threads on each end of the Ball Valves, along with all of TruDesign'sproducts, are a parallel thread form. Parallel thread connections provide far greater strength than tapered ones do and since waterproof sealing is achieved through the application of thread sealant before fitting, parallel threads allow positioning of components anywhere from 0 to 360° to one another - useful for orienting handles so they are easy to access. Mixing parallel and tapered threads can cause strength and sealing problems as the engagement is usually only a few turns, therefore, should never be used in marine applications.

    Ball Valves are available in BSP (British Standard Pipe) or, under special order, NPS (National Pipe Straight/American National Pipe)
