Sampling ball valve PB - straight, average 9,8; 1,2" M

Product detailed description

This sampling ball valve is commonly used in gas and low-temperature fluid systems for controlled sampling and isolation. It is suitable for installation in industrial and commercial buildings, including HVAC, plumbing, and process systems where accurate flow control and sampling are required. The valve is designed for use in systems operating within a temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C and with a nominal pressure rating of PN 5. It is typically installed in pipelines where sampling is necessary for quality control, diagnostics, or system monitoring. The straight body design allows for compact installation in tight spaces, and the lever handle provides a clear indication of the valve's open or closed position.

Installers and technicians working on gas lines, water circuits, or chemical systems will find this valve suitable for integration into existing systems or new installations. The nickel-plated brass construction ensures resistance to corrosion and wear, making it ideal for environments where durability and reliability are essential.

Brand	IVAR

The valve is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 5, meaning it can safely handle system pressures up to 5 bar. The operating temperature range from -20 °C to +60 °C allows it to be used in both cold and warm environments. The nickel-plated CW617N brass body provides good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection, particularly in systems where pressure and temperature fluctuations are expected.

Installation and connection

The valve is equipped with a 1/2 inch male thread (M), which allows for direct connection to compatible female-threaded fittings or pipe ends. Before installation, ensure that the thread type and size match the system components. Apply a suitable sealing compound or PTFE tape to the male thread to prevent leaks. The straight body design facilitates installation in linear pipeline sections. Common installation mistakes include incorrect thread orientation, insufficient sealing, and failure to align the valve in the correct flow direction. Always verify that the valve is fully open or closed during installation to prevent damage to the sealing surfaces.

Compatibility and accessories

This valve is compatible with systems using gas or low-temperature liquids. It can be integrated with sampling kits, pressure gauges, or other diagnostic equipment. For complete system functionality, additional accessories such as sampling tubes, filters, or pressure regulators may be required. Installers should ensure that all connected components are rated for the same pressure and temperature conditions. No related products are specified for this model.

Technical background for designers

The valve operates on a standard ball valve principle, where a rotating ball with a central bore controls the flow. The nickel-plated CW617N brass body provides good mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for a wide range of media. The 1/2 inch male thread ensures compatibility with standard pipe fittings. The PN 5 rating and temperature range make it suitable for low-pressure systems. The operating life and efficiency of the valve are influenced by the quality of the sealing surfaces, the media being handled, and the frequency of operation. Proper installation and alignment are essential to ensure long-term performance.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the sealing surfaces and thread integrity is recommended to ensure leak-free operation. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data. During operation, ensure that the valve is fully open or closed to prevent wear on the sealing surfaces. If leakage is detected, disassemble the valve and inspect the sealing surfaces and thread for damage. Reapply sealing compound if necessary. Avoid using excessive force when operating the lever to prevent mechanical stress on the valve body.
