Characteristic Description
Material & Structural Basics
UPVC PVC Ball Valves' core structure features a UPVC body, TPE seat seal, PP ball, ABS handle, and NBR O-ring seal—materials selected for durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The valve integrates a modular design that streamlines assembly and maintenance, with all sealing components molded as a unified unit to minimize structural weaknesses.
NSF Certification & Core Specifications
This model holds NSF certification, meeting the strict standards for safe fluid contact in potable water and food-related applications. It adheres to ASTM D1785 (P4U005) standards, with key specifications including 1-1/2" size, 3.68mm wall thickness, and 6m length. The valve is available in two shape options (octagonal and compact) and two connection types (threaded and socket), adapting to diverse installation scenarios.
Market Research
The global UPVC PVC Ball Valve market is witnessing steady growth, driven by rising demand in water treatment, municipal infrastructure, and food processing industries. Buyers increasingly prioritize certified products—NSF certification, in particular, has become a key differentiator for applications involving potable water. HJ PVC Fitting 15 addresses this trend by combining compliance with industry standards and user-centric design, catering to businesses seeking reliable, low-maintenance valves that reduce operational downtime.
Key Features
HJ designed a new type of ball valve.
Compared with the traditional structure, the UPVC ball valve seals the O - ring inside the ball valve body instead of inside the handle. This makes the ball valve more reliable as all the sealed parts are assembled together by mould.
Another advantage is that the UPVC ball valve can have its handle removed easily, which makes repair much more convenient.
1. It is easy to change the handle.
2. It is easy to add an extra O - ring seal between the handle and the body in case the ball valve leaks.
Enhanced Sealing System
Unlike traditional ball valves with O-rings in the handle, HJ UPVC PVC Ball Valve Fitting 15 embeds the O-ring within the valve body. This innovation eliminates seal displacement risks and enhances overall reliability, as all sealing parts are integrated via precision molding.
Tool-Free Handle Removal
The detachable ABS handle simplifies maintenance: users can easily replace the handle or add an extra O-ring seal between the handle and body to address leakage, without specialized tools.
Bidirectional Operation for Large Sizes
For valves 2.5 inches and larger, improved mold design enables bidirectional opening. This feature reduces torque significantly, making the handle turn smoothly while maintaining strict assembly tolerances for all components.
Performance Meets
UPVC PVC Ball Valve complies with international standards including ASTM, DIN, JIS, and BS, ensuring compatibility with global infrastructure projects. Every unit undergoes rigorous leakage and pressure testing: high-pressure air (equivalent to 16pn water pressure) is injected into the valve, which is then held for 24 hours to verify seal integrity. This testing process guarantees the valve’s performance in high-pressure environments.
Customized Service
We offer flexible customization to meet unique project needs. Options include adjusting valve sizes (from 1/2" to 8"), switching connection types (threaded/socket), modifying seal materials for specialized fluids, and customizing handle colors for brand alignment. Our engineering team collaborates with clients to refine designs, ensuring the valve fits specific installation spaces and operational requirements.
Leakage Quality Test
Every piece of UPVC ball valve is checked for pressure and leakage before being packed.
HJ inspects the quality of the ball valve by injecting high - pressure air, which has the same pressure as 16pn water pressure, into the ball valve. Then, the air is kept in the ball valve until the next day.
FAQ
Q1: What fluids is HJ PVC Fitting 15 suitable for?
A1: It works with potable water, chemicals (non-corrosive to UPVC), and general industrial fluids. The NSF certification confirms its safety for potable water applications.
Q2: How often does the valve require maintenance?
A2: Routine maintenance is minimal—simply inspect the O-ring seal annually. The detachable handle allows for quick part replacement without disassembling the entire valve.
Q3: Can the valve be used in high-pressure systems?
A3: Yes. It passes 16pn water pressure equivalent testing, making it suitable for most industrial and municipal high-pressure fluid systems.
Q4: Is the valve compatible with both threaded and socket pipelines?
A4: Yes. It offers both threaded and socket connection options, ensuring compatibility with standard pipeline setups.
