Frequently Asked Questions
What is a true union ball valve?
A true union ball valve is designed with union connections on both ends, allowing the valve body to be removed and serviced in-line without cutting or rearranging the piping system. This makes maintenance and replacement significantly faster and cheaper than standard end-connection valves.
What materials is the FIP 2-way True Union Ball Valve available in?
FIP True Union Ball Valves are available in UPVC, CPVC, PPH (Polypropylene Homopolymer), and PVDF body materials. EPDM and FKM seal options are available for different chemical compatibility requirements.
What's the difference between UPVC, CPVC, and PVDF body materials?
UPVC: Best for cold water; rated to 60°C. CPVC: Handles hot water and mild chemicals up to 90°C. PVDF: Superior chemical resistance; suitable for aggressive industrial fluids and temperatures to 104°C.
What is the pressure rating of the FIP 2-way True Union Ball Valve?
FIP 2-way True Union Ball Valves are rated PN 16, which equals 16 bar or approximately 232 PSI. Standard pressure ratings decrease with increasing temperature. Check your application requirements before installation.
Can the FIP valve be automated?
Yes. FIP 2-way True Union valves are compatible with pneumatic and electric actuators per ISO 5211 mounting standard. Global Elementum offers manual, pneumatic, and electric versions. Actuated valves can be integrated with BMS, PLC, or SCADA systems for automated control.
What are typical applications for FIP ball valves?
FIP True Union valves are ideal for industrial process water, wastewater treatment, HVAC systems, desalination, aquaculture, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and any installation requiring frequent valve maintenance or replacement.
