BV-5549 Ductile Iron Ball Valve - Flanged PN16 - for Abrasive Mediums

Product Description

BV-5549 Ductile Iron Ball Valve – Flanged PN16 – For Abrasive Mediums

The BV-5549 Ductile Iron Ball Valve – Flanged PN16 is specially designed to handle abrasive media in challenging industrial environments. With a tough ductile iron body and components selected for maximum wear resistance, this valve is ideal for use in systems transporting slurries, suspended solids, and other abrasive fluids commonly found in mining, chemical processing, wastewater, and heavy-duty industrial applications.

Built with a chromed brass or hardened ball for enhanced erosion resistance and reinforced PTFE seats, the BV-5549 offers extended service life even in high-cycle or harsh flow conditions. The PN16 flanged ends ensure secure installation into standard pipeline systems, while the full bore design allows unrestricted flow and minimizes turbulence—key for reducing wear from abrasive particles. This valve is engineered to deliver reliable shutoff, low maintenance, and robust performance where conventional valves may quickly degrade.

Key Features:

• Body Material: Ductile Iron – durable and impact-resistant, ideal for demanding applications

• Ball Material: Chromed Brass or Hardened Finish – improves wear resistance in abrasive flow conditions

• Seats: Reinforced PTFE – resists erosion and ensures tight shutoff

• End Connection: Flanged PN16 – standardised for secure, leak-free installation

• Bore Type: Full Bore – reduces flow restrictions and internal wear

• Applications: Slurries, sand-water mixes, abrasive chemicals, mining, and wastewater treatment

• Design Benefits: Engineered for extended service life and reduced maintenance in abrasive media

When system reliability and resistance to abrasion are critical, the BV-5549 stands out as a purpose-built solution for protecting your process and minimising downtime.
