Bradas Ball IBC valve S75x6 - S60x6 - metal flange

Product detailed description

This ball valve is commonly used in irrigation systems and storage applications where IBC tanks are employed. It is suitable for workshops, building sites, and garden installations where reliable flow control is required. The valve is designed for integration into systems that require a secure and leak-free connection to IBC containers. It is typically used in scenarios where a direct connection to standard pipe fittings is necessary, such as in pump systems, water distribution, or chemical handling.

The valve is suitable for installations where a metal flange connection is preferred for its durability and resistance to wear. It is often used in environments where the system is subject to regular maintenance or where a secure, long-term connection is essential. The valve is commonly found in industrial and commercial settings, including agricultural irrigation and workshop storage solutions.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves securing the valve to the IBC tank using the metal flange. The flange must be aligned with the tank's opening and tightened using appropriate bolts. The valve can then be connected to a 1 inch male thread or a 3/4 inch female thread, depending on the system requirements. It is important to ensure that the flange is properly seated and that all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent leaks. A common mistake is using incorrect thread types or failing to align the flange correctly, which can lead to system inefficiencies or leaks.

Compatibility and accessories

This valve is compatible with standard IBC tanks and can be integrated into irrigation and storage systems. To complete the installation, it may be necessary to order additional fittings or pipe connections depending on the system configuration. No specific related products are listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The ball valve operates by rotating a ball with a hole through it to control the flow of media. The metal flange provides a durable and stable connection to the tank, ensuring long-term reliability. The valve is constructed to withstand the pressures and conditions typical of IBC tank applications. The choice of materials and the design of the flange and threads are critical for ensuring the valve's performance and longevity. The integration into the system depends on the correct selection of thread type and the alignment of the flange with the tank opening.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the flange and thread connections is recommended to ensure a leak-free operation. The valve should be checked for signs of wear or corrosion, particularly in environments where it is exposed to chemicals or moisture. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief.
