PVC-U single union ball valve with Rp threaded sockets PN16

  Data Sheet |   Product Range | Instructional Video

This industrial PVC-U single union ball valve with parallel female Rp threaded sockets provides reliable shut-off and manual flow isolation in chemical and industrial process piping. Designed for dependable operational performance, the valve features a nominal pressure rating of PN16 (16 bar at 20 degrees Celsius) across the dimension range from 3/8" to 4". The single union configuration allows quick disconnection and maintenance of adjacent pipe segments without dismantling the surrounding system.

Manufactured from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), the valve body delivers high mechanical rigidity, dimensional stability, and resistance to corrosion, saline solutions, dilute acids, and alkalis. The internal sealing arrangement combines low-friction PTFE ball seats with EPDM O-rings, providing hermetic bi-directional shut-off and smooth quarter-turn operation. Threaded sockets conform to EN 10226-1 (ISO 7-1) standards, allowing direct connection to threaded plastic or metal system adapters.

Engineered for demanding industrial fluid handling, this PVC-U valve is widely used in water treatment facilities, chemical dosing lines, cooling circuits, and utility distribution networks. The integrated union nut and safeblock design maintain seal preload and prevent accidental loosening during regular plant service. With an allowable medium temperature up to 45 degrees Celsius (subject to standard pressure de-rating), the unit provides dependable longevity where metal valves succumb to corrosion.
