Profec Ball Valve Single Union PVC-U 2" Female Thread 10 bar DN50 Safe 550
Profec Safe 550 Single-Union PVC-U Ball Valve DN50 — 2″ Female Thread, 10 bar
The Profec Safe 550 is a full-bore, single-union ball valve manufactured from high-grade PVC-U, designed for reliable on/off flow control in pool circulation systems, irrigation networks, and industrial fluid handling. The DN50 (2-inch) female-threaded connections on both ends allow direct installation into existing threaded pipework without adaptors. The single union on the outlet side enables the valve body to be removed from the line for inspection or replacement without disturbing the surrounding pipework, reducing maintenance downtime significantly.
Rated to 10 bar working pressure at 20 °C and a maximum operating temperature of 60 °C, this valve handles the demands of pressurised pool plant rooms and greenhouse irrigation headers. The corrosion-proof PVC-U body resists chlorinated water, fertiliser solutions, and many common chemicals, making it a long-service alternative to metal valves in wet environments. The red lever handle provides an immediate visual indication of valve position and operates through a precise 90-degree quarter-turn, while the Hytrel/EPDM seat-and-seal combination ensures a bubble-tight shut-off across the rated pressure range.

Compatibiliteit
This valve is compatible with 2-inch (DN50) female-threaded PVC-U, PVC-C, and ABS fittings conforming to BSP/ISO thread standards. It is suitable for use with cold and warm water systems, chlorinated pool water, and standard irrigation fluids within the rated pressure and temperature envelope. It is not rated for solvent-weld connection and should not be used with hydrocarbons, concentrated acids, or ketone-based media. Always verify chemical compatibility of the Hytrel/EPDM seals with the specific fluid before installation.

In detail
- Single-union design allows valve removal and replacement without cutting the pipe
- Full-bore DN50 port (50 mm) minimises flow restriction and pressure loss
- 10 bar working pressure suits pressurised pool plant rooms and irrigation mains
- PVC-U body is fully corrosion-proof in chlorinated and fertiliser-dosed water
- De rode kwartslaghendel geeft direct visuele bevestiging of de deur open of dicht is
- Single union on one end only — complete in-line removal requires access to both connection points
- PVC-U has a lower temperature ceiling (60 °C) than metal or PVC-C alternatives
- Female-threaded connections require PTFE tape or thread sealant; not suitable for solvent-cement joining
