The required bolts are noted in the Parts Guide cut. Note that the ball valve shown above requires the use of two flange adapters and flange rings.
#AQUATERM 3 TON DOES IT HAVE FAN CONTROL FULL SIZE#
All of the ball valves offered by Aquatherm are full-port ball valves, meaning that the port or opening in the ball is the full size of the pipe in which the valves is being placed.īall valves may be operated manually or by use of an actuator. The following figures are taken from the Parts Guide showing the various ball valves available. 3Īquatherm offers a line of ball valves from ½” to 6” in brass/polypropylene and polypropylene. Some designs may be field repaired or modified. Sizes typically range from ½” to 6” (20 mm – 160 mm). They do not offer the fine control that may be necessary in throttling applications but are sometimes used for this purpose.īall valves are used extensively in industrial, commercial, and residential applications because they are very versatile, long-lived and easy to operate, supporting pressures up to Aquatherm piping’s maximum pressures and temperatures. They are therefore an excellent choice for shutoff applications (and are often preferred to globe valves and gate valves for this purpose). The ball valve, along with the butterfly valve and plug valve, are part of the family of quarter turn valves.īall valves are durable and usually work to achieve perfect shutoff even after years of disuse.
The handle or lever will be in line with the port position letting you “see” the valve’s position. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. The sphere has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. Ball ValvesĪ ball valve is a valve with a spherical disc, the part of the valve which controls the flow through it. They are also available with chrome plated valve handles in tamper proof designs. These valves are available in short stem lengths and longer stem lengths from 2” to 4” in length. They are globe valves that are mainly used for control at fixtures such as lavatories, sinks, and water closets. These valves are offered in ½”, ¾” and 1” sizes. Figure 5: Y-Body Globe Valve Concealed ValvesĪquatherm also offers a line of concealed valves.
