Ball valves for pumps

Ball caps for pumps are designed for secure shut-off and integration into pump systems, commonly used in heating, water circulation and irrigation applications. These valves feature internal screw connections with FF (fixed flange) fittings and are available with or without non-return valves. They operate within a temperature range of 0°C to +120°C and are constructed from nickel-plated brass (CW617N) for durability and corrosion resistance. The butterfly lever design ensures smooth and precise operation. These valves are suitable for systems requiring controlled flow management and pump protection.

Typical applications include pump suction and discharge lines, where reliable isolation and directional flow control are essential. The valves are compatible with systems operating at PN 16 pressure ratings and are commonly used in industrial and commercial plumbing setups.

How to choose

• Confirm the connection size and type (e.g., 1" x 6/4" FF) to match the pump and pipe dimensions.
• Check if a non-return valve is required for backflow prevention in the system.
• Select nickel-plated brass (CW617N) for compatibility with water and heating media up to 120°C.
• Ensure the operating temperature range (0°C to +120°C) aligns with the system conditions.
• Verify the lever type (butterfly) for ease of operation in tight or high-traffic installation areas.

Frequently asked questions

Can ball caps for pumps be used in hot water systems?
Yes, they are rated for operation up to +120°C, making them suitable for hot water and heating applications.

What is the difference between IVAR.CIM 353 and IVAR.CIM 354?
IVAR.CIM 354 includes an integrated non-return valve, while IVAR.CIM 353 is a standard ball cap without this feature.
