Specifications:The document details the specifications of the PVC-U Single Union Ball
Valve SX, which is suitable for heavy-duty, chemical, and water treatment applications. The nominal pressure is PN 16, and the temperature range is from -10°C to 60°C. The valve is made from PVC-U material, with seals available in EPDM or FKM, and ball seats made from PTFE.
Procedures:
The valve features a full bore ball locked in place on both sides, ensuring optimal sealing. It allows for sealing adjustment and disassembly using a key incorporated into the handle. The valve is suitable for potable water contact according to European, UK, and USA regulations and is approved for marine applications.
Standards:
The valve complies with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, Annex III, Module A1. It is available with solvent welded sockets (metric, BS) and threaded sockets (BSPP).
Recommendations:
For optimal performance, ensure the valve is used within the specified pressure and temperature ranges. Regular maintenance and inspection are advised to maintain sealing integrity.
Certifications:
NSF and WRAS certifications are applicable only for valves with EPDM seals. Certifications and approvals are related to items declared on official listings or certificates.
Components:
The valve consists of various components including nuts, sockets, O-rings, gaskets, ball seats, and handles, primarily made from PVC-U and PTFE materials.
Graphical Data:
The document includes a graph showing the maximum operating pressure for PVC-U according to temperature, indicating the pressure loss and flow rate coefficient Kv at different bar levels.
