Banjo Brand Poly Ball Valve Standard Port Female Thread
Price range: $55.22 through $122.94
Description
In irrigation systems, the Banjo Polypropylene (Poly) Ball Valve with Standard Port and Female Threads is a durable and reliable component designed to control water flow. Constructed from precision-molded polypropylene reinforced with fiberglass, this valve offers enhanced strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various agricultural and industrial applications.
Key Features:
- Material: The valve body is made from polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer known for its durability and flexibility. This material is resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity in diverse environmental conditions.
- Design: Equipped with female National Pipe Tapered (NPT) threads, the valve allows for straightforward integration into existing piping systems. The standard port design facilitates efficient flow rates, balancing performance and pressure requirements.
- Operation: The self-aligning ball moves freely against PTFE (Teflon) seats, ensuring smooth operation with minimal handle pressure. The ball is diamond-turned after molding to achieve a spherically perfect shape, providing precise contact between the ball and seats. Stainless steel bolts and nuts are used to ensure easy disassembly in corrosive conditions.
Applications:
- Agricultural Irrigation: Ideal for controlling water flow in irrigation systems, including drip lines and sprinkler setups.
- Industrial Fluid Management: Suitable for handling various liquids in industrial processes, thanks to its chemical resistance.
- Chemical Transfer: Appropriate for transferring chemicals, as the polypropylene construction offers compatibility with a range of substances.
Benefits:
- Corrosion Resistance: Polypropylene construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, extending the valve’s service life.
- Ease of Use: The lever handle allows for quick and easy operation, facilitating efficient flow control.
- Versatility: Compatible with various piping systems due to its standard female NPT threads, making it adaptable to different setups.
Considerations:
- Pressure Rating: Ensure the valve’s pressure rating aligns with your system’s requirements to maintain safety and functionality.
- Temperature Limits: Be aware of the operating temperature range, as extreme temperatures may affect the valve’s performance.
- Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal operation and longevity.
In summary, the Banjo Poly Ball Valve with Standard Port and Female Threads is a robust and versatile component, essential for effective flow control in various irrigation and industrial applications.
Precision molded polypropylene is reinforced with fiberglass for additional strength. Self-aligning ball moves freely against the PTFE seats for smooth operation. The valve opens and closes with very little pressure on the handles. Ball is diamond turned, after molding, to make it spherically perfect, which provides precise contact between ball and seats. PFTE self-lubricating stem bushings and seats cannot stick or bind. Stainless steel bolts.
