Rated to a robust 64 bar with a 1\u00bd” (DN38) bore, this Profec two-piece stainless steel 316 ball valve is engineered for demanding pool plant rooms where saltwater, chlorinated water, or other aggressive media place ordinary brass or PVC valves under strain. The two-piece body design allows access to the internal ball and PTFE seats for servicing without cutting the valve from the line, and the quarter-turn lever gives instant on\/off isolation in tight equipment bays.<\/p>\n
Constructed entirely from stainless steel 316 \u2014 a molybdenum-bearing grade offering superior resistance to chlorides and salt solutions compared with standard 304 stainless \u2014 this valve is equally at home on salt-chlorinator bypass lines, chemical dosing headers, and commercial pool plant pipework. PTFE seats and seals add chemical inertness and a low-friction seating surface that maintains a leak-tight shut-off across the full \u221210 \u00b0C to 150 \u00b0C operating temperature range.<\/p>\n
A blue-coded stainless steel lever provides clear open\/closed orientation at a glance \u2014 a practical detail in busy plant rooms where multiple valves share the same manifold. The 90\u00b0 quarter-turn action requires minimal effort to operate and makes the valve’s position immediately obvious without needing to trace pipework. Overall face-to-face length is 97 mm (Lb), and the flange diameter is 38 mm, keeping the footprint compact for back-to-back installation.<\/p>\n
At 64 bar, this valve comfortably exceeds the working pressures encountered in any pool, spa, or water-treatment application, providing a meaningful safety margin for pressurised filtration systems and high-head pump sets. Both inlet and outlet are 1\u00bd” BSP female threads, allowing direct connection onto standard male-threaded fittings, pipe nipples, or pump unions \u2014 no special adaptors required for typical European pool plant configurations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
