PE100 ball valve

The PE100 ball valve is a corrosion-resistant solution for below-ground gas, sewer, and water applications where metal ball valves have traditionally been installed. The valve is 50% lighter than comparable metal valves, and it features a two-step planetary gear system to ensure smooth opening and closing, thereby eliminating water hammer. It comes in 1-in. to 6-in. sizes (metric sizes are also available), and units larger than 2 in. are available with an integrated gear box. The valve’s SDR11 spigot ends are approved for maximum operating pressures of 230 psi for water and 150 psi for air or gas. Valves for air or gas applications have nitrile rubber (NBR) seals, while valves for liquids have ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) seals. The PE100 ball valve can be easily installed using butt, socket, or electro-fusion technologies.
