Stainless Steel Ball Valves Genebre

With so many stainless steel ball valves available in the UK why would you choose the Genebre range from Besseges (Valves, Tubes & Fittings) Ltd, the main reason certainly from our perspective is quality. Two of our best-selling products are Genebre stainless steel ball valves and we carry enough stock here to satisfy the requirements of most users of these products. There are others in the UK that offer Genebre valve products, but the stock availability is negligible and delivery from Genebre can be two weeks or longer unless you are willing to pay heavy carriage costs. Here at Besseges, we offer a comprehensive range of two-piece and three-piece stainless steel ball valves from stock in sizes from 8mm (¼”) to 100mm (4”) with end connections in BSP threaded, flanged, socket weld and butt weld, the latter two are only available in the three-piece range.

Stainless Steel Ball Valves Genebre Art2014

The Genebre article 2014 stainless steel ball valves are available in sizes from 8mm (¼”) to 80mm (3”) and is a full bore BSP threaded version CF8M (316) stainless steel investment casting with 15% carbon filled PTFE seats and seals and a Viton O-Ring stem seal. These stainless steel ball valves are rated to a maximum working pressure of 63 bar, covering a temperature range of -25°C to 180°C and are manually operated with a lockable handle. As with many other Genebre stainless steel ball valves, this version has a blowout-proof stem and has a proven track record for quality and long service but comes at a very competitive price.

This same valve is also available in an NPT threaded version ART 2014N on a longer lead time than our stock version, please contact our sales team to discuss price and suitability for your process, we can also provide a full data sheet, more details are available on page 17 of the Genebre Industrial Line Catalogue, please click the highlighted link to open this catalogue or visit our Downloads and Calculators page to explore other Genebre products.

Stainless Steel Ball Valves Genebre Art2025, Art2026 & Art2027

Genebre Art2025 BSP threaded stainless steel 3-piece ball valve

The next item is one of our most popular choices of stainless steel ball valves the three-piece Genebre ART 2025 BSP threaded unit has a maximum working pressure of 63 bar and a maximum working temperature of 180°C, the temperature and pressure graph is provided on the valve data sheet available via our sales team. The seats and seals are the same as the Genebre ART 2014 stainless steel ball valves, the key differences between the two valves are the ART 2025 three-piece is a three-piece unit offering easier installation as the ends split from the main valve body and the seats and seal on the ART 2025, ART 2026 (Butt weld) and ART 2027 (Socket weld) are replaceable or as some of our customers already do just split the body from a replacement valve and insert into an existing installation.

The other two three-piece stainless steel ball valves mentioned are the butt weld and socket weld versions respectively. The mediums these stainless steel ball valves are suitable for are similar to what we have already described in the previous paragraph although we can offer replacement 25% carbon-filled seats at extra cost which will allow for an increase in the working temperature to 260°C. This allows for the valve to be used on steam systems with working pressures of around 10 to 13 bar, the only reason we stop at 13 bar is we haven’t used this product on a system above this pressure.
