PBM 2 Way Ball Valve
PBM's Series 5 Two-Way Industrial valves are designed for general purpose, non-sanitary process applications. The 2 Way Ball Valves are available with True-Bore, Full and Reduced Port sizes.
The Valves are available in the folowing materials:
- 316L S/S complies with ASTM A 351-CF3M or A479, S31603
Is exceptionally corrosion-resistant to acidic and basic environments and does not pit easily.
Can be polished to a near-mirror finish for easy cleanability.
Has a carbon content of <.03% to facilitate welding.
Is preferred for sanitary and biotechnological uses.
Has a controlled sulphur content between 0.005% and 0.017% in cast Extended Butt-Weld end fittings, in accordance with ASME BPE-1997.
Low and zero ferrite cast materials are also available. - Carbon Steel, A216-WCB
This versatile material handles mildly corrosive media. - Other
Additional materials are available, including Alloy 20, Duplex Stainless Steels, Hastelloy, Titanium, and Inconel.
Features:
Adjust-O-Sealฎ design allows valve seat seal to be restored in-line to a leak-tight condition, to compensate for normal seat wear.
Swing out/lift out design for easy removal and installation.
Internal seat design produces a bubble-tight, bidirectional seal.
Spring-loaded washers create a live-loaded stem assembly for positive sealing.
True-Boreฎ (port matches ball, seat and end fitting I.D. to tubing I.D. to eliminate puddling), Full Port or Reduced Port.
Stem assembly accommodates PBM Direct Mount Actuation for accurate alignment and increased cycling life. Engagement between the stem and ball is well-suited for high torque applications.
Extended Butt-Weld for Tube and Extended Butt-Weld for Pipe end fittings may be welded in-line without disassembly.
Strong handle and stem. Handle position indicates whether valve is open or closed. Vinyl end covers are designed for a sure grip.
Precision machined and polished ball reduces torque and extends seat life.
Optional mechanical or electropolished I.D. and O.D. surfaces minimize crevices and enhance sterility.
Symmetrical bolt pattern allows easy rotation for positioning valve in tight spaces.
Quickly and easily convert valves with common ports from Industrial to Sanitary (and vice versa) using interchangeable seats.
