Description
SAFI PVC Ball Valve – Plain Metric
The SAFI PVC Ball Valve with Plain Metric Ends is a high-quality, full-bore isolation valve designed for reliable flow control in water treatment, industrial processing, irrigation and general PVC pressure pipework applications.
Manufactured from durable PVC-U, this valve provides excellent corrosion resistance and dependable performance in suitable water and chemical handling systems. The plain metric solvent weld connections allow direct installation into compatible metric PVC pressure pipe systems, providing a secure and permanent joint when installed using suitable PVC solvent cement.
The full-bore design helps minimise flow restriction and pressure loss. High-performance PTFE seats, combined with additional seals beneath the seats and dual spindle seals, provide excellent shut-off performance and reliable operation.
