Our unique mechanical squeezing enables all valve seals to fully compress insuring superior sealing.
All valve parts are made of DuPont 80G33 Supertough Glass reinforced Nylon™, except the turning head which does not have glass reinforcement. Expansion and contraction rates of the various parts, due to temperature change will be similar. The Supertough additive provides high-impact even at cold temperatures.
All seals are made of Buna N (the best for natural gas) and coated with grease for maximum lubrication and protection.
This valve may also be used as a sewer valve. But, only in a pressure sewer installation.
This valve may also be used as a water valve. But, only in an installation that is using black 3408 pipe non-drinking, non-potable water lines.
The ball valve features a .965 port opening.
A 90° shutoff is standard. However, a 360° is also available.
No cathodic protection is required for this valve.
The "Feel and See" external stop and tab feature helps eliminate over tightening and the stripping of compression nuts.
The compression components feature "ACME" thread design. The best for a mechanical compression installation.
Every valve manufactured at Handley Industries is tested to ANSI B16.40 paragraphs 3.2.1 (shell test), 3.2.2 (seat test) and 3.3.1 (operating test) prior to shipment. For other test documentation, call the factory for a test data packet.
Available in sizes 1/2" CTS, thru 1 1/4" CTS.
Meets or exceeds ANSI B16.40 standards.
