Ball valve gas - corner, 3/4" FM - butterfly

Product detailed description

This corner ball valve is commonly used in residential and commercial gas systems for heating and plumbing applications. It is typically installed in gas lines where a compact, space-saving design is required, such as in boiler rooms, under sinks, or in tight mechanical spaces. The valve is designed for use in systems operating within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and is suitable for low-pressure gas distribution. Installers should ensure that the system pressure and temperature conditions align with the valve’s specifications before installation.

The valve is part of a larger range of gas ball valves from IVAR, specifically designed for integration into gas supply lines. It is often used in conjunction with other components such as pressure regulators, gas meters, and piping systems. The butterfly-style design allows for quick and secure shut-off, making it ideal for emergency isolation or routine maintenance.

The PN 5 rating indicates that the valve is suitable for systems operating at a nominal pressure of 5 bar. The operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C means it can be used in both cold and warm environments, including heated spaces and outdoor installations in moderate climates. The nickel-plated brass CW617N construction ensures corrosion resistance and durability in gas applications.Installation and connection This valve is designed for internal/external FM thread connections of 3/4 inch. Before installation, ensure that the thread type and size match the system piping. Apply a suitable thread sealant to prevent gas leaks. The butterfly-style handle allows for easy operation and clear visual indication of the valve position. Common installation mistakes include incorrect thread orientation, failure to use sealant, and overtightening, which can damage the valve body or sealing surfaces.Compatibility and accessories This valve is compatible with standard gas piping systems using FM threads. When installing, ensure that the system includes appropriate pressure regulators and safety devices. Additional components such as pipe fittings, sealing compounds, and wrenches may be required for a complete installation. No related products are available for this model.Technical background for designers This ball valve operates on a quarter-turn principle, where the ball inside the valve rotates to open or close the flow path. The nickel-plated brass CW617N material provides good resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for gas environments. The PN 5 rating ensures that the valve can handle typical gas pressures in low-pressure systems. The butterfly-style handle is designed for ease of use and clear indication of the valve position. The operating temperature range allows for use in a wide range of environments, but designers should ensure that the system does not exceed these limits to maintain performance and longevity.Service and operation No specific service intervals are provided for this model. Routine checks should include verifying the integrity of the thread seal and ensuring that the valve operates smoothly without resistance. If the valve becomes difficult to turn or shows signs of leakage, it should be inspected and replaced if necessary. The butterfly-style handle allows for quick visual confirmation of the valve’s position.Frequently asked questions

Can this valve be used in a natural gas system?
Yes, the valve is suitable for natural gas systems operating within the specified pressure and temperature range.

Is it possible to use this valve in a low-pressure propane system?
Yes, provided the system pressure and temperature conditions are within the PN 5 and -20°C to +60°C range.

Can this valve be used in a vertical installation?
Yes, the valve can be installed in any orientation as long as the thread connections are properly sealed and the system conditions are within the operating range.

What type of wrench is recommended for tightening the valve?
A standard pipe wrench or spanner is suitable for tightening the valve. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the valve body or sealing surfaces.
