Manually Actuated
Our Serviceable Series Ball Valves are made from stainless steel and provide excellent durability and corrosion resistance. These valves are ideal for applications where ease of serviceability and low long-term costs to maintain are desirable. Seals are reinforced PTFE (Teflon®) and body seals are Viton®. Offered in 1/4” to 2” NPT female screwed end, socket weld, tube socket weld and others upon request.
Advantages
Wear components can be quickly and cost effectively replaced, enabling the valve to remain in service throughout its intended life. The unique two-piece pipe adapter enables flangers to rotate independently of pipe connectors with mating counterbore that allows for accurate alignment of pipe ends to valve center section during assembly/disassembly.
- Designed for Easy Servicing
- Low Long-Term Cost to Maintain

Electrically Actuated
Ideal for automation where no air supply is available for a pneumatically actuated valve, or if slower index time is needed. If there is high velocity/pressure, actuation can minimize or prevent ‘water hammer,’ which occurs if a valve closes quickly at the end of a pipeline system.
Actuator uses voltage to power valve on/off. Once it reaches full open/close position, internal cam switches turn off the motor. Wiring terminal block enables position feedback with motor voltage. An optional set of limit switches are available to connect to voltages other than motor for position feedback or to power other devices. Fold-out manual override can be used during power failure. Once power resumes, it returns to original position.
Advantages
Designed for durability and longevity, the cast aluminum base dissipates internal heat through a special thermal conductor that pulls heat from the motor for cooler operation during heavy cycle operations.
Maintenance-free, permanently lubricated drive train and brushless motor in a NEMA 4X sealed enclosure protect again moisture and contamination. All AC motors use auto-resetting thermal overload circuits. Industry exclusive manual override feature with simple push button fold-out lever handle.

Pneumatically Actuated
Featuring a rack and pinion design for quick on/off operation. A solenoid or related device is required for operation. Air can be piloted by direct mount solenoid valves having NAMUR interfaces or remotely piloted via means of 1/8” NPT female threaded ports in the actuator interface plate.
Two pneumatic styles are offered: Double-acting, which uses air to move pistons in both directions and spring-return which uses air to move pistons in one direction and springs in the other. Double-acting is the most popular since it offers a compact size and the longest service life at the lowest cost. Limit switches are available for all models to remotely denote valve position or to connect with other devices.
Advantages
A special rack and pinion design supports extended service life and precise machining assures 90° rotation without external adjustment. Actuator bodies manufactured from lightweight aluminum with Teflon® impregnated hard anodized surfaces and stainless steel hardware provides excellent corrosion resistance. Actuators are maintenance-free and permanently lubricated with no airline lubrication needed.
