Parker 8F-B8LJ2-SSP ball valve provides positive leak tight shut-off and bi-directional control of fluids in process and instrumentation applications. This unit is widely used in pipelines to prevent backflows.
Working Mechanism:
- When the valve is rotated 90 degrees by either a manual handle or by actuation, the valve either opens or closes.
- The ball's hole is parallel to the flow direction when the valve is open.
- The valve's lever handle should be perpendicular to the pipe when the valve is closed and parallel to the pipe when it is open.
- This makes determining the position state of the valve simple.
Features:
- This 2-way ball valve has a stem that rotates 90 degrees for quick on / off in both the manual and remote actuated versions.
- Its free-floating ball design compensates for seat wear.
- It features ASTM A276 Type 316 stainless steel and brass construction for corrosion resistance.
- Its straight through flow path offers minimum pressure drop.
- This valve's fracture-resistant nylon handle depicts the direction of flow.
