The solid ball ensures top operational safety without the loss of flow. The separation of the bonnet from the flow of hot water / steam reduces the thermal stress on the insulation. The enclosed limit stop is not exposed to dirt and thus ensures exact positioning of the valve in its end positions. The BÖhmer position indicator is designed with a two-flat header and a red-colored direction notch showing the exact position of the ball even after assembly of BÖHMER accessories. The redundant seal of the stem ensures absolutely hermetic seal-off from the environment. Due to the different types of...
