The flanged ball valve.

The flanged valve is designed for engineering systems with non-toxic and non-aggressive working environments. The opening and closing of the flow is carried out by turning the locking unit directly around its axis. Depending on the type of device, there is a two- and three-way valve. As for the type of control, in the catalog of our online store you will find: a valve with an electric drive (24VDC, 110VAC), a handle, a pneumatic actuator, a gearbox, a bare rod. The design itself consists of the following parts: housing, cup, flanges, rod with bolt, handle, O-rings, ball plug, stud.

The locking body has a spherical shape with a through hole in the center. The compactness of the valve contributes to the fact that it can be installed even in hard-to-reach places. The products are resistant to chemicals, corrosion, temperature and pressure changes. Special seals improve performance and expand the scope of application. Sealing elements are made of: Teflon (PTFE), Teflon with carbon (PTFE+C), fluoroplast, etc.

Advantages of flanged cranes:

• simple design does not require constant maintenance;
• in case of loss of tightness or other breakage, the water or heat supply faucet can be easily dismantled and replaced;
• operational life — 30 years;
• they do not give in to wear and withstand pressure surges;
• they can be equipped with heat-resistant seals, which will allow the use of shut-off valves at extremely high temperatures;
• easy installation and comfortable adjustment of the working medium flow.

The ball flange valve is attached to the pipeline using a flange, and is not welded, unlike similar valves. This type of connection is more practical, because replacement of components or repair during an emergency does not require much time. If you decide to install just such a valve, make sure that its installation does not contradict the requirements of the RTD (regulatory and technical documentation), because in certain cases it is necessary to use exclusively ball valves for welding. When choosing, focus on the requirements of a specific engineering system and decide in what conditions the pipeline crane will function.

Scope of application:

Thanks to the collapsible design and high quality of materials, the shut-off valve can be used on domestic pipelines and in industry. Ball components are available in a universal series for use in cold, heat supply and gas pipelines. The availability of various standard sizes allows you to complete the engineering system taking into account all technical requirements. The device is selected individually for each working environment.

If you decide to buy valves with a flange connection, focus on the following technical characteristics:

• device type (two or three-way);
• diameter (from 1/4 to 12 inch);
• control method (electric, pneumatic drive, handle, gearbox, bare rod);
• body material (steel, cast iron, brass, stainless steel);
• operating pressure (from 290 to 986 psi);
• brand ( Valve-Daddy , Also, LD, ABRA etc.);
• price.

The flange provides reliable and fast installation to the pipeline system. The valve can be installed in any position and with any flow direction of the working medium. The operation of the device is allowed in two modes - "open” and "closed". Intermediate positions will cause premature wear of the floor and violation of the tightness of the overlap. A water tap with a flanged connection is characterized by low hydraulic resistance, the absence of stagnant zones and a long service life, which is why it is popular among consumers.
