Description
SAFI PVC Ball Valve – HDPE Spigot Ends
The SAFI PVC Ball Valve with HDPE Spigot Ends is a high-quality, full-bore isolation valve designed for reliable flow control in polyethylene pipeline systems. Combining a corrosion-resistant PVC-U valve body with HDPE spigot connections, this valve provides a practical solution for water distribution, irrigation, industrial processing and general HDPE pipework.
The HDPE spigot ends allow connection to compatible polyethylene pipework using suitable electrofusion couplers, providing a secure joint without the need for threaded adaptors or flanged connections.
Featuring a full-bore design, the valve helps minimise flow restriction and pressure loss. High-performance PTFE seats, additional seals beneath the seats and dual spindle seals provide dependable shut-off performance and reliable manual operation.
