Key Features

The actuator's smooth traveling stroke is essential in extending the life of ball valve seats. This feature significantly reduces wear and tear during operation, not only increasing durability but also boosting the system's overall efficiency and reliability. It is an important consideration for applications where long-term performance and consistent operation are critical.

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.

Actuation Valve Testing & Calibration

Every actuated valve assembly undergoes thorough testing and calibration by our skilled team of technical engineers before being packed and shipped. This ensures that upon arrival at your location, the assemblies are installation-ready, allowing for swift resumption of your production operations.
