Flanged ball valve – application
Due to their construction, flanged ball valves are primarily used with pipes characterized by larger diameters. The valve’s structure and arrangement allow for safe and comfortable flow of media with minimal risk of failures. As a result, it’s a solution that ensures reliable system operation and hassle-free handling of external factors. Flanged ball valves are commonly found in water installations—both residential and industrial.
Stainless steel flanged ball valves
Due to their use in rather demanding conditions, valves must be characterized by high durability and operational safety. Every flanged ball valve should offer a considerable degree of resistance to moisture, water, temperature fluctuations, pressure, and mechanical damage. With the presence of special coatings and the use of appropriate materials in their production, these components exhibit stainless properties that significantly extend their lifespan. Properly chosen valves will perform well in both indoor and outdoor installations.
Flanged ball valves for water
Flanged ball valves are used in water supply installations, industrial setups, district heating networks, and air conditioning systems. They can be installed in all systems involving the flow of media such as water, steam, gases, petroleum products, or chemicals. Installing such a valve ensures safe operation regardless of the conditions. Flanged ball valves for water work excellently in residential and industrial buildings. Their operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +200°C. With such properties, flanged ball valves can effectively perform in various installations, ensuring efficient operation and reducing the risk of damage.
Flanged ball valves – sizes
A flanged ball valve must be properly selected to function efficiently. Otherwise, there’s a significantly higher risk of various failures, which could lead, for example, to flooding in a building or a hazardous gas leak. One of the most crucial factors is the diameter of the pipe in which the product will be installed. Among the most commonly used solutions are, for instance:
- flanged ball valve DN 50, so flanged ball valve 2 inch,
- flanged ball valve DN 65 – 2 1/2″,
- flanged ball valve DN 80 – 3″,
- flanged ball valve DN 100 – 4″,
- flanged ball valve DN 150 – 6″.
Flanged ball valves – product price list
When purchasing flanged ball valves, it’s essential to select products that will serve efficiently for many years. The price of such a component depends on various factors, including the valve’s diameter. The materials used, construction details, and operational parameters of the component also hold significant importance. Typically, purchasing such a product involves an expenditure of several hundred złotys. However, it’s worth noting that these valves are primarily stainless and highly resistant to various factors. The craftsmanship of ball valves ensures safe operation, protection against corrosion, and prolonged exposure to water, air, and chemicals.
A convenient option for users is the ability to choose appropriate handle colors, facilitating the recognition of the specific purpose of a flanged ball valve. This ensures swift and easy identification of the type of installation the valve is part of. The color red is associated with hot water, while blue is linked to cold water. Products with yellow handles, often found, are used in gas installations. In cases where pipes have smaller diameters, an alternative to flanged ball valves would be standard angle ball valves, which easily fit into installations with limited space. Our offering includes all necessary components for any system.
