Rated to a robust 64 bar and covering a temperature range of \u221210 \u00b0C to +150 \u00b0C, this Profec 3\/4″ two-piece ball valve is built for demanding pool plant rooms and mechanical service installations where standard brass fittings fall short. The all-316 stainless steel body and stainless steel lever deliver far superior resistance to chlorinated water, salt water, and chemical dosing lines compared with brass or PVC alternatives.<\/p>\n
Constructed entirely from grade 316 stainless steel \u2014 body, ball, stem, and lever \u2014 this valve resists the chlorides and aggressive pool chemicals that can cause dezincification or stress corrosion in lesser alloys. The PTFE seats and seals add a further layer of chemical inertness, maintaining a leak-free shut-off across a broad range of media including pool water, salt solutions, and mild acids or alkalis commonly encountered in pool chemistry treatment systems.<\/p>\n
A simple 90\u00b0 turn of the blue-coded stainless steel lever moves the valve between fully open and fully closed \u2014 there is no intermediate throttling position. Both ports are 3\/4″ female BSP threads (\u00d8Di 20 mm bore), making installation straightforward into standard pool pipework with no additional adapters required in most European installations. The compact face-to-face length of 64 mm (Lb) suits tight plant room layouts where space between adjacent components is limited.<\/p>\n
At 3\/4″, this valve is well suited to isolation duties on pump pre-filter connections, chemical dosing lines, heat pump service ports, and salt chlorinator bypass circuits \u2014 anywhere a reliable, full-bore isolator is needed on smaller-diameter pipework. The 64 bar pressure rating provides a generous safety margin well beyond the operating pressures of any domestic or commercial pool pump, making it equally appropriate for pressurised heating circuits feeding heat exchangers or pool heat pumps.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
