Description
SAFI PVC Ball Valve – Plain Imperial
The SAFI PVC Ball Valve with Plain Imperial Ends is a high-quality, full-bore isolation valve designed for dependable flow control in water treatment, industrial processing, irrigation and general PVC pressure pipework applications.
Manufactured from durable PVC-U, this valve offers excellent corrosion resistance and reliable performance in suitable water and chemical handling systems. The plain imperial solvent weld connections allow installation into compatible imperial 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, making the valve suitable for applications requiring efficient fluid transfer. High-performance PTFE seats, combined with additional seals beneath the seats and two spindle seals, provide excellent shut-off performance and reliable operation.
