Key features and benefits of Double Union Standard U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves
1

Key Features

This design significantly eases the installation and maintenance process. The double union configuration allows the valve to be removed from the pipeline without the need for full system disassembly. This feature is particularly valuable in complex piping systems where space and time constraints are critical factors.
2

Key Features

The use of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) for the valve seat is a strategic choice due to its exceptional chemical resistance. PTFE remains stable across a wide range of temperatures and chemical environments, making it an ideal material for handling corrosive substances commonly found in chemical processing industries.
3

Key Features

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) seals are chosen for their outstanding durability and resistance to environmental factors such as UV rays, ozone, and extreme weather conditions. These properties make EPDM seals highly effective for both indoor and outdoor applications, ensuring that the valves perform reliably under varying environmental stresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

A U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of liquids in piping systems. It is made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (U-PVC) and follows metric measurement standards.

U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves are commonly used in water treatment, chemical processing, irrigation, and swimming pool systems due to their corrosion resistance and durability.

To install a U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valve, ensure the piping is clean, cut the pipe to the appropriate length, apply primer and solvent cement, then insert the valve into the pipe and allow it to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Advantages include chemical resistance, lightweight construction, easy installation, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for various industrial and residential applications.

U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves differ in material composition (U-PVC vs. metal or other plastics), metric sizing standards, and their suitability for handling corrosive and chemical-laden fluids.

U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves have a temperature limit, typically up to 60°C (140°F). They are not recommended for use in high-temperature applications.

Maintenance involves regular inspection for leaks, cleaning the valve seat and ball, and ensuring the valve operates smoothly. Replace any worn-out parts as needed.

Yes, U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves are often used in drinking water systems as they are non-toxic and resistant to corrosion.

U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 16mm to 110mm, following metric standards.

Consider factors such as the fluid type, pressure rating, temperature, and size requirements of your piping system when choosing a U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valve.

Yes, U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves can be used outdoors; however, it is important to protect them from prolonged exposure to UV rays to prevent degradation.

The pressure rating of U-PVC Metric Manual Ball Valves typically ranges between 10 to 16 bar, depending on the size and specific valve model.
