Technical Features & Design Advantages:

1. BS5163-Compliant Engineering  

• Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to BS5163 specifications for face-to-face dimensions, flange drilling, and pressure ratings

• Pressure Performance: Rated for PN10/PN16 applications with hydrostatic testing to 22 bar per standard requirements

• Material Compliance: Utilizes BS-standard ductile iron and corrosion-resistant coatings

 

2. Non-Rising Stem Space Optimization  

• Compact Installation: Stem rotates internally without vertical movement, reducing installation height by 40% vs rising stem designs

• Confined Space Suitability: Ideal for valve chambers, underground pits, and areas with limited overhead clearance

• Stem Protection: Internal stem positioning prevents damage from external impact or environmental exposure

3. Resilient Seated Bubble-Tight Shutoff  

• EPDM Encapsulated Wedge: Provides complete rubber-to-body contact for **zero leakage** (EN 12266-1 Class A performance)

• Corrosion Prevention: Eliminates metal-to-metal contact between wedge and body seats

• Extended Service Life: Maintains sealing integrity for **50,000+ operating cycles**

4. Operational Efficiency

• Low Torque Operation: Precision trapezoidal threads reduce operating force by **35%**

• Maintenance-Free Design: Self-lubricating stem bushings eliminate routine maintenance needs

• Visual Position Indicator: Fixed handwheel with position markers for clear open/close status
