Electric Water Valves - Wras Approved Electric AV-Lite Actuated Ball Valves

Electric Water Valves, also known as WRAS Ball Valves, are WRAS approved for use on potable water systems. They give a straightforward way to show that fittings on potable water systems meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations. These WRAS ball valves feature effortless installation, smooth operation, and swift closure with minimal effort. They are industrial-grade, capable of withstanding working pressures of up to 40 bar in PN40-rated applications. We manage the assembly and testing of all our products in-house, ensuring complete control and the delivery of durable, high-quality items. Each product comes with a detailed two-page test report that meticulously documents various operational aspects, such as opening and closing times and pressure ratings.

Wras Approved Actuated Ball Valves

In the UK, water fittings connected to the public supply must comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, or the Scottish Water Byelaws in Scotland. WRAS approval is not a legal requirement, but it is a widely recognised way of showing that a product has been tested against those requirements. This approval serves as evidence that our products have undergone testing by an independent body to ensure they meet all the necessary standards and requirements established by the government. The BV-4500 is a Ball Valve that has received WRAS approval and is suitable for use with drinking water.

FAQs

This valve is appropriate for use with drinking water, provided it falls within the specified pressure and temperature constraints.

Yes. Electric actuators can be supplied with a battery backup or spring return module so the valve moves to a safe position on power loss, and pneumatic actuators can be supplied spring return. Tell us the fail position you need when you enquire.

Certainly, our actuated valves are provided with comprehensive operations and maintenance manuals. These manuals are furnished by both the valve and actuator manufacturers.

It depends on the version. Electric actuators normally include open and closed limit switches. For pneumatic valves, choose the switchbox option to add open and closed position feedback. If you are unsure, contact us and we will confirm.

Potentially. Contact us so we can discuss potential options.

Actuators are supplied in the manufacturer's standard finish. If your application needs a special coating, for example for a corrosive or offshore environment, contact us and we will check what the manufacturer can provide.

Yes. Send us the size, connection, pressure and media by email or call 0151 547 1221 and we will quote a suitable valve and actuator package.

Yes. We can ship on a plain label direct to your customer. Send us a copy of your delivery note and we will include it with the consignment.

Please contact our sales team to discuss account and payment options for your business.

On 3 piece valves, yes. This is done by combining end caps from two valves, so the valves are purchased in pairs; we then re-assemble and pressure test the valve before shipping.

Actuated Valve Testing & Calibration

All actuated valve assemblies are fully tested and calibrated in house prior to packing and shipping from our expert team of technical engineers. This means that when they arrive at site, you're immediately ready to install and get your production back up and running.
