A unique
full flow ball valve has been launched by leading manufacturer Pegler as part
of its Integrated Piping Systems which is revolutionising installations across
the globe.
The VSH
FullFlow XPress Ball Valve forms part of the expanding XPress portfolio and
offers unrivalled specification due to being manufactured from material that is
identical to the pipe.
With the
materials matching and technological advancements within the design and
manufacture of this valve the reliability of a system is greatly enhanced as
the risk of damaging galvanic corrosion and condensation is eliminated.
“Due to
the resounding success of our VSH XPress range the VSH FullFlow XPress Ball
Valve further complements our product portfolio and offers HVAC contractors
with a reliable Integrated Piping System.” commented Sindar Singh Director
Product Line Valve Technology at Pegler.
“A
complete system that offers reliability is a huge benefit to contactors whose
reputation relies on the quality of the products they use. We are
delighted to be now launching a new product that incorporates the valve and
fitting into one streamlined body and is made from Carbon so when used with
carbon pipe system it delivers a positive zero voltage reaction and
therefore preventing the start of any galvanic corrosion.“
Made from
Carbon which comes with all the inherent benefits such as lighter weight and
low theft risk, the team at Pegler has developed the VSH FullFlow XPress Ball
Valve to ensure a number of advantages no matter what the application.
For the exposed valves the streamlined body offers increased aesthetics
whilst also providing a safety function. Its design allows for easy pipe
insulation fitting whilst the handle can be repositioned for ease of
installation or fully removed for security.
In
addition, the valve is designed to reduce the number of seals which decreases
the possibility of leaks due to incorrect fitting but also benefits from double
O-Rings giving increased reliability. Available in ½ to 2” diameter, the
valve is compatible with the XPress thread, swivel and press options as
required. A stainless steel version, suitable for potable water
applications will be released later this year.
“This is
another element of our Integrated Piping Systems which are proving to deliver
greater efficiencies and reliability across all applications,” said Sindar.
“The incorporation of a full-bore valve inside a streamlined fitting is a
simple yet effective solution and will assist in saving time, increasing
reliability and continue the re-education of the way we approach pipe and
plumbing systems.”
All VSH
XPress valve bodies are laser marked with information on size, material and
pressure and a colour coding indicates the type of material; red for carbon
steel and green for stainless ensuring compatibility.
