The Georg Fischer single union PVC-U ball valve with solvent cement sockets provides reliable fluid isolation across industrial processing, water treatment, and irrigation piping systems. Manufactured from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, this PN16 manual valve delivers an efficient, robust solution for installations requiring regular maintenance and component dismounting without cutting the pipeline. With a nominal pressure rating of 16 bar at 20 degrees Celsius, it complies fully with ISO EN 1452-3 standards for thermoplastic industrial piping.

Engineered for dependable flow control, this single union valve features precision solvent cement sockets compatible with metric pipe diameters from d16 mm to d110 mm. The integrated single union nut allows installers to detach the valve body from the union end for seat inspection, cleaning, or seal replacement without disturbing the opposing fixed socket. The internal mechanism incorporates a smooth spherical ball with low operating torque, supported by durable PTFE ball seats and elastomer O-ring seals for bubble-tight bidirectional shut-off.

The rigid PVC-U body delivers high chemical resistance against inorganic acids, alkalis, saline solutions, and chlorinated water, making this valve ideal for swimming pool plant, water treatment, chemical dosing skids, and agricultural irrigation lines. It operates reliably within a working temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, with standard thermal pressure derating applied above 20 degrees Celsius. Its ergonomic quarter-turn lever provides immediate visual status of flow position and prevents stem over-torquing.

As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies this single union PVC-U ball valve across Europe. Each valve is manufactured for direct compatibility with metric PVC-U pipes, solvent cements, and Tangit cleaners, ensuring dependable socket fusion and long operational service life in industrial fluid handling.
