Profec - 2-piece ball valve stainless steel 316 1/2" female thread 64 bar - 0090942

Profec – 2-piece ball valve stainless steel 316 1/2″ female thread 64 bar

Rated to a substantial 64 bar working pressure and operable across a wide temperature range of -10 °C to 150 °C, this Profec 2-piece ball valve is built for demanding pool plant-room and industrial pipework where reliability cannot be compromised. The 1/2″ female-threaded ends (BSP) screw directly onto standard fittings, making it a straightforward drop-in choice for bypass lines, chemical dosing circuits, and ancillary connections on pool equipment. The all-SS316 body and stainless steel lever ensure long-term resistance to the chlorinated and saline environments typical of pool installations.

Material quality & corrosion resistance

The valve body, ball, and stem are machined from marine-grade stainless steel 316 — the alloy preferred wherever chlorides, salt water, or aggressive pool chemicals are present. PTFE seats and seals deliver chemical inertness and a consistently low operating torque, while the stainless steel lever handle resists surface corrosion that would otherwise compromise a painted or coated alternative over time.

Quarter-turn operation & sealing

A single 90-degree turn of the blue-coded lever moves the valve from fully open to fully closed, giving installers and service technicians an immediate visual confirmation of valve status. The 2-piece body design simplifies in-line servicing: the valve can be disassembled for seat inspection or replacement without cutting the valve out of the pipework, reducing maintenance downtime on busy pool plant systems.

Dimensions & installation fit

With a face-to-face length of 57 mm (Lb) and an overall installed radius of 103 mm (R), this compact valve fits neatly into tight plant-room manifolds. The 15 mm bore (ØDf) is well matched to 1/2″ pipework used on chemical dosing pumps, pH/ORP probes, pressure gauges, and heat pump service ports — anywhere a robust, space-efficient isolation point is needed.
