Stainless Steel Ball Valve Genebre Three Piece

This versatile stainless steel ball valve range is available with three end connections from stock, BSP threaded, socket weld and butt weld in sizes from 15mm (1/2”) to 100mm (4”) nominal bore. The standard valve is 63 bar rated with a maximum temperature of 180°C, the seats and seals are 15% carbon-filled PTFE with a Viton steam seal, and the valve body is manufactured from CF8M (316) stainless steel. A stainless steel ball valve of this quality and price can be used on many pipework systems as a manual stainless steel ball valve or an actuated stainless steel ball valve. We actuate stock valves with single spring return actuators or double actuators and can fit solenoids, open & shut indicators and limit switches, all you need to do is contact us and specify your requirements. In addition, we can also provide a stainless steel ball valve with an extended spindle to suit both manual and actuated applications where the operating temperature can either be an issue for the operator or prevent damage to the actuator. For higher temperature applications please read the next paragraph or contact us to discuss your requirements.

Stainless Steel Ball Valve Genebre Three Piece Higher Temperature Applications

The ART 2025HT stainless steel ball valve is the same valve body as discussed in the previous paragraph but fitted with 25% carbon-filled PTFE seats and seals and still with a Viton stem seal. This highly versatile stainless steel ball valve can be used on steam applications from 10 to 25 bar but also ensures a long service life at lower pressures from 7 to 10 Bar. This particular process steam valve is used solely by one of our area’s leading steam boiler refurbishment contractors, the same stainless steel ball valve can be found on many process steam systems throughout the North West of England and beyond. For other applications involving higher-than-normal temperatures please contact us to discuss your process needs and issues and we will be glad to assist your business in any way possible.
