This new  ball valve is an innovative
solution for gas, sewer and water applications where metal ball valves
have typically been installed.



The  ball valve is 50 percent lighter than comparable metal valves
and offers corrosion resistant internal and external parts. Available in
1" through 6", the new  ball valve boasts a two-step planetary
gear system to ensure smooth opening and closing of the valve, thereby
eliminating water hammer.



Asahi/America's new  ball valve is suitable for below-ground
service, and valves larger than 2" are available with an integrated gear
box. The SDR11 spigot ends are approved for maximum operating
pressures of 230 psi for water and 150 psi for air or gas.



Available in both metric pipe sizes and IPS pipe sizes, the ball
valve offers NBR seals for air or gas, and EPDM seals for fluids. The ball valve can be easily installed using butt, socket or
electro-fusion technologies.
