BV2CV-400CC-BBC Pneumatically Actuated 3-Piece Sanitary Stainless Ball Valve

Available Options

A wide variety of options are available: modulating, extra switches, transmitters, potentiometer, etc. Contact Dixon for details.

Construction

• Valve has Virgin PTFE seats, a blow-out proof stainless steel stem and live-loaded stem packing
• ID polish is Ra 32 minimum
• Rack and Pinion actuator has a hard anodized aluminum body, nickel plated anti-blowout pinion, Nitrile Rubber O-rings and NAMUR mounting.

Features

• Compact design for areas with tight space restrictions
• Full-port valve design offers lower pressure drop and a less turbulent flow
• Balanced encapsulated valve construction minimizes cold-flow of seats
• Precision stainless steel balls reduce torque and friction losses while extending the seat life of the valve
• Actuator is tested to one million cycles and it features bi-directional stops for ±5º travel adjustment and visual position indication.
• 80 PSI plant air is required

Safety Notes

• Even though there are torque safety factors built into our automated ball valve packages, actual service conditions must also be considered when selecting the proper product for the appropriate application.
• Severe service conditions such as dirty water, dirty air, all slurries, raw sewage water, oils, and other viscous fluids can have a dramatic affect in raising the torque requirements of ball valves as much as 75% and therefore larger actuators may be required. Please consult Dixon when dealing with these types of applications.
