Steel full-bore (bore diameter equals the nominal pipeline diameter) ball valves 11s42p PN 16 are used on pipelines as shut-off devices that completely block the flow of working media. The operating principle involves rotating the ball through a 90° angle. In the open position, the axis of the ball's bore aligns with the pipeline axis, allowing media to flow freely through it. In the closed position, the ball rotates so that its wall completely blocks the flow.
The valve marking is deciphered as follows:
- 11 – valve type (ball valve);
- s – body material (carbon steel);
- 42 – model number;
- p – sealing material (plastic).
Design Features
- Valve repairability due to its split-body design.
- Ball mechanism made of stainless steel, preventing corrosion and extending service life.
- Compact face-to-face dimensions.
These features make 11s42p valves an ideal solution for housing and communal services renovation, as well as for use in various technological installations, gas distribution panels, metering stations, etc.
Applications
- Housing and communal services: 11s42p valves are perfect for water supply and heating systems requiring reliable control of water and steam flows. Their use enables efficient resource distribution to residential and commercial buildings.
- Gas distribution systems: These valves control natural gas flows, making them crucial components in gas distribution panels and systems. They ensure safety and reliability when handling combustible gases.
- Oil and gas industry: 11s42p ball valves are also used in oil pipelines and other systems transporting petroleum products.
- Industrial applications: 11s42p valves can be used in manufacturing processes requiring control of liquid or gas flows non-aggressive to valve materials.
