Product description The Ball Valve Type 546 Pro is the ideal valve for use in applications ranging from simple water applications right up to demanding chemical processes. Its modular construction guarantees simple operation, flexibility, universal automation options and the greatest possible process safety. Function The ball valve uses a rotating ball with a hole through it that allows straight-through flow in the open position and shuts off flow when the ball is rotated 90° to block the flow passage. This valve is mainly used for open/close functions and for regulating services. Applications • Chemical process industry • Water treatment • Food & beverage GF Piping Systems - Industrial Piping Systems (05/2023)

The Ball Valve Type 546 Pro modular design always adapts the actual requirements. Whether electric, pneumatic or manual operation, including optional accessories, it flexibly meets all requirements. • Lockable lever equipped as standard • Manual valve or automatic valve with/without electrical position feedback • Ergonomic hand lever with integrated tool to open the union bushing • Labeling in lever (optional) • Integrated fixation system with mounted threaded inserts as standard • Spacers keep the level of the piping system constant and simplify installation • Individual online configuration...

With the backing seals, the ball has a floating position. This results in preloading and hence a constant seal. Stem, backing, housing and connection seals are made of EPDM or FKM. The stems with predefined break point above the upper O-ring help prevent leaks to the outside in case of damage for manual valves. The new designed security break point in the interface allows the user to replace the coupling piece within a few minutes and without interruption if an automated valve is subject to wear. All ball valves in DN10 – 100 are available as radially removable valves with two threaded connections...

Valve handling Removing the lever When removing the lever, the locking ring must be in the open position (top). Installation notes When installing the ball valve, ensure that it is always installed into the system in an opened ball position. Selection of lubricant All seals should be lubricated with a silicone-based grease. Using the wrong lubricants can damage the material of the ball valve or seals. • Mineral oil-based and Vaseline (petrolatum) are not appropriate. • For silicone-free ball valves, please consult the special manufacturer‘s instructions. Maintenance notes Ball valves require...

After being mounted in the valve or in the interface module, the double sensor is used to signal the CLOSED or OPEN position of the valve via an electric signal to a controller, supplied by the customer. The switching states are also output optically via two integrated LEDs. 10 - 50 Closed: Green / Open: Red PNP 198546001 10 - 50 Closed: Green / Open: Red NPN 198546005 10 - 50 Closed: Red / Open: Green NPN 198546006 10 - 50 Closed: Green / Open: Red NAMUR 198546003 10 - 50 Closed: Red / Open: Green NAMUR 198546004 Suitable connection cables available as accessories The spring reset unit (dead...
