Fast and Easy Installation
• Multi-position Installation: To assist with installation Philmac ball valves can work in any direction and at any angle.
• BSP Inlet Threads: The Rural and Irrigation sectors use British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads as a standard. Philmac also uses these thread types
across the valve range to ensure compatibility with other threaded fittings and make installation easy.
Complete Security
• Frost Resistant: Proven performance in frost conditions.
• Easy Action: The handle is not only easy to operate but has a positive on/off action through 90˚. It is ergonomically designed to enable easy gripping.
• Corrosion Resistant: with a plastic body and components, nitrile O-rings and all components are made from high quality corrosion resistant materials.
• Approvals: All blue handled ball valves carryStandardsmark approval.
High Performance
• High pressure rating: Ball valves are rated to a pressure of 1600 kPa (232 psi) (static shutoff) at 20⁰ Celsius to meet the requirements of high pressure systems.
• Manufactured from advanced thermoplastic materials: Philmac Ball valves are manufactured from lightweight high performance thermoplastic materials, which have excellent impact, UV and corrosion resistance. The material is non-toxic and taint free.
Complete Coverage
• Wide range: The range of Ball valves is comprehensive and includes sizes from ¾” to 2” (DN10 to DN50)
System Design Considerations
Threads: All threads are BSP (Whitwor th form).
Maximum Operating Pressure: 1600 kPa (232 psi) or 16 bar.
Sealing threads: Philmac recommends sealing threads with PTFE tape. Other approved sealants for plastic materials can be used providing the sealant does not enter the valve where it may cause damage.
Operating temperature: Connection is cold water (less than 20⁰C) rated.
Weathering: All plastic materials used contain pigments to provide excellent protection against degradation from ultra-violet (UV) radiation. However long-term continuous exposure to UV is not recommended and plastic components should ideally be protected.
