Key Specifications
Based on the labeling and visual features:
-
Material: UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), which is highly resistant to corrosion and chemical damage.
-
Type: True Union. This design allows the central body of the valve to be removed from the pipeline for maintenance or repair without having to cut the pipe.
-
Size: 3″ (DN80 nominal diameter).
-
Pressure Rating: 150 PSI at 15°C.
-
Temperature Limit: Maximum 55°C.
-
Handle: Large red T-handle for manual “Quarter-Turn” operation (On/Off).
Design Features
-
Connection Points: The ends feature socket-style unions, likely for solvent cement welding to standard 3-inch PVC pipes.
-
Mounting Pad: There is a molded integrated mounting pad (visible just below the handle) which can be used to secure the valve to a bracket or to mount an automated actuator.
-
Color Scheme: Dark grey body with a high-visibility red handle, typical for industrial-grade plastic valves.
Common Applications
These valves are standard in environments where metal valves might corrode or where cost-effective, high-flow control is needed, such as:
-
Water treatment and swimming pool filtration systems.
-
Chemical processing and irrigation.
-
Aquaculture and large-scale aquarium life support.
